I'll have to say, the people on this list are fantastic!!! Thanks to all of you for the wonderful information on the coal mines! Another question -- does anyone know the rough time frame the Elizabeth mine was in operation? And has anyone "claimed" the James CAMPBELL that was the Supt. there, or the Samuel CAMPBELL at Wolf Run? My Harvey CAMPBELL was "killed by cars" on July 14, 1894 -- we'd been told by family he was in a mining accident... Thanks Everybody!
