Where were the zinc mines located in LaSalle Co? Janet LIPS0160@aol.com wrote:Joanie, Would it be possible to look up the name DREWITZ for any obits? I don't know how far back the obit index goes, but this family lived in LaSalle, La Salle County from 1880, until around 1920. They all worked in the Zinc mines there. Incidentally, did you know that the site of the zinc mines was/is? a Superfund project? Very interesting, as a lot of people working there died relatively young suffering from different cancers...
