This is wonderful!  I wish I had something to add to this list.  My gguncle Archibald "Archie" Brown Pilkington died in a mining accident before 1900, but I haven't been able to find out where or exactly when.  His death was mentioned in his brother's obit.  If I ever run across it, I will get it to you if it was in Macoupin area.  They lived most of their lives in the Greene-Macoupin County Illinois area with some later years in Missouri.  If you run across him, please let me know.  --- On Fri, 10/16/09, W Hinton <wmhntn@frontiernet.net> wrote: From: W Hinton <wmhntn@frontiernet.net> Subject: [ILMACOUP] Deaths in mines To: ilmacoup@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, October 16, 2009, 11:26 AM I have been attempting to compile a list of the fatalities occuring in the local coal mines.
