Miner Information:
At an early age he began working in the mines. After more than twenty years in the mines, he was injured. At forty years of age he suffered a fractured skull when a jackhammer slipped. He had a chip of bone embedded in his brain for the rest of his life. At the time of the accident, he and his wife had five children, agef 3 weeks old to thirteen years. He could never re-enter the mines. He was unable to work for three years. Finally he worked in a greenhouse, watering plants and doing small chores. He later worked at the D & H Colliery loading trucks. The loading of the trucks created a great quanity of coal dust. He enjoyed mountain air and being outdoors, which made it easier to breath with his asthma. He died in the hospital at the age of eighty-two.
