I have added another small family tree for Benjamin Spradlin. It only has 107 people in it but maybe it will help someone. I have also started a new link on coal mining. I came across this wonderful book of poetry while at the Kentucky Coal Mining Museum in Benham, KY. The author gave me permission to use some of his poetry. His writing is so full of emotion that you can picture yourself being there. Hope you all enjoy.

Marilyn, my grandfather William Proctor Davis [Dutton] was a coal miner in Johnson County. Would love to know the name of the book of poetry and the author. Would you share a poem?
