Miner Information:
"Fedio", who was the only member of his immediate family to make a new life in America, had served in the Austro-Hungarian cavalry. He married Fenia and they had one child before he immigrated to America. Frank, as he came to be known, worked briefly for the Lehigh Valley Railroad, then decided to enter the mining industry. As a coal miner he could earn a slightly higher wage, allowing him to save enough money to send for his wife's passage to America. But it wasn't until after WWI ended that she was able to join him, alone, as their 2-yr old child had died of diphtheria in (Lutowiska) "the old country". Frank worked hard for the Glen Alden Coal Company and Hudson Coal Company until he retired in 1949.
