    1. Re: [PACENTRE] Penn Number 5 Mine, Rush Twp., Centre Co., PA
    2. Justin & list, I'm 62 yr old (b 1939) and recall as a kid, perhaps 8-10 yr old, our family going to visit relatives in the Osceola Mills area -- Cornelius & Margaret (Miller) Baney -- and he worked in a small family-owned, or private, coal mine somewhere in the vicinity. He took us there and we walked into the mine a short distance, but I recall there being a tram pulled by either a donkey or mule that they used in bringing coal from the mine. I was too young to remember much else. Am wondering now if it might have been this same Penn No. 5. Cornelius Houtz Baney, mentioned above, was a son of Albon and Anna Viola (Houtz) Baney -- Anna Viola being a sister of my paternal grandfather, Harry Franklin Houts. Fred Houts, Brooklyn Center MN
