I wish I knew but unfortunately, I didn't know anything about the family of Dan Yarbrough. Even though he was my father's first cousin, I don't think they ever met each other. Therefore, I didn't even know who his children were until recently. I have sent information regarding my miners to this email address - [email protected] - they take information about coal miners in that area for the miner's memorial in Altus and for their book. If you haven't already submitted your relative, they would probably like to know about him. I was amazed when I went onto their website http://home.kscable.com/jacobshome/altusar/ - to see how many people there were that worked in those mines! And so many last names familiar to me. Loeta
