Miner Information:  
I was born in 1974, so I never met him.  My mom is not in good health, so I don’t have a lot of information.  The dates are correct; I am working off an old family tree paper.  I do have contact numbers for my mom’s sister and brother if more information is required.  I do have old pictures, but nothing that can be attached.  My mom used to tell me he was a coal miner and had died of black lung.  My mom was raised locally, so the mine was near here.  We would consider it a great honor if his name was included on the memorial.  His name was Joseph, his son was named Joseph, my middle name is Joseph, and my son’s name is Joseph.  Thus his name was carried through.
