It closed in 1911 when the Gravity Slope Colliery replaced it. Give me your grandfather's name and I'll try to help.

I do know who you can ask, however, _http://www.grsnp.org/_ (http://www.grsnp.org/) . Grsnp would be able to help you get a info on White Oak, and maybe your grandfather too. Good Luck! Carol Joe, Thanx for your kind offer, but Jim O'Hara sent me the info on my grandfather. However, I would appreciate any info on my grandmother, Honora Gildea Loftus. She was born in 1850 and died in Archbald but not sure of the date.
