HI HAVE YOU JOINED THE COALMINERS LIST? SOMEONE THERE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DIRECT YOU. THE DANVILLE LIBRARY ALSO HAS SOME COAL MINE REPORTS WHICH GIVES ACCIDENTS, FATAL OR JUST INJURIES OF COAL MINERS OF VERMILION CO. AS FAR AS RECORDS, I DO NOT KNOW IF GOOD EMPLOYEE RECORDS WERE EVEN KEPT BACK THEN. GOOD LUCK GRANNY
