Milly, I have done nothing but pray for these families and hold my breath each time a new update comes on the television. I can't begin to imagine what they are going through. My daddy and two uncles all worked in the coal mines in Wilder. My one uncle died of black lung. Milly this isn't an off topic, coal mining was a part of our families, and history. Thank you for putting it on the site. And our families and history is what makes genealogy.
