Ruthann Try contacting the Lackawanna Historical Society, maybe they can be help to you. I have contacted them before & they were most helpful. I found out my g-grandfather died 10/7/1910 in a mine collapse in the Taylor Mines & was one of the first postmasters in Minooka & was a pretty prominent person in his day. (ie his name was William J. Burke) The address for the Lackawanna Historical Society is C/O The Catlin House 232 Monroe Avenue Scranton, PA 18510 (570) 344-3841 and my letter was sent by Mary Ann Moran/Director Hope this helps you.
