I also wonder if the mine was owned by Sunshine Mining Co., but was called something else. I know all the ones out in Idaho and Colorado were owned by them, but each mine had a different name and No. depending on where it was located. It's possible that it wasn't a mine failure, but a freak accident. Donna Sandie Huffstutler <[email protected]> wrote: You know, I just re-read that obit.

This is from the Mine Safety & Health Administration: YEAR DAY MINE LOCATION TYPE DEATHS 1981 12/08 No. 21 Mine, Grundy Mining Co. Marion Co., Whitwell, Tennessee Explosion 13 On December 8, 1981 at approximately 12 noon (CST), an explosion occurred in the 003 section of the No. 21 mine operated by Grundy Mining Company, Incorporated. The mine was located 15 miles northwest of Whitwell in Marion County, Tennessee. A total of fifty-six (56) men were underground at the time of the explosion, thirteen (13) were killed or died as a result of the explosion. The 003 section was mining toward an old gob area and was test drilling in advance of the face. On December 7, 1981, the boreholes intersected the five right gob area and encountered 5.2% methane at the boreholes. By December 8, 1981, the section had advanced the faces and enlarged one of the boreholes to a four (4) foot by seven (7) foot opening. According the investigation findings, the intake air to the section face had been short-circuited at a crosscut between nos. 2 and 3 entries (3 crosscuts outby the face). Methane had migrated into the section working face from the penetrated gob area via the enlarged opening and could not be diluted because adequate ventilation controls were missing. The ignition was found to be caused by a miner striking a cigarette lighter. Evidence showed that smoking articles were present on the section and on four of the bodies of the deceased miners.

this is from RootsWeb Review: RootsWeb's Weekly E-zine 28 December 2005, Vol. 8, No. 52 and I think it applies to about all of us at one time or another LOL---Betty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEWS FLASH. 1852 NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS SOLVE GENEALOGICAL MYSTERIES. It is New Year's Eve 1852 and Henry HYDENWELL sits at his desk by candlelight. He dips his quill pen in ink and begins to writes his New Year's resolutions. 1. No man is truly well-educated unless he learns to spell his name at least three different ways within the same document. I resolve to give the appearance of being extremely well-educated in the coming year. 2. I resolve to see to it that all of my children will have the same names that my ancestors have used for six generations in a row. 3. My age is no one's business but my own. I hereby resolve to never list the same age or birth year twice on any document. 4. I resolve to have each of my children baptized in a different church -- either in a different faith or in a different parish. Every third child will not be baptized at all or will be baptized by an itinerant minister who keeps no records. 5. I resolve to move to a new town, new county, or new state at least once every 10 years -- just before those pesky enumerators come around asking silly questions. 6. I will make every attempt to reside in counties and towns where no vital records are maintained or where the courthouse burns down every few years. 7. I resolve to join an obscure religious cult that does not believe in record keeping or in participating in military service. 8. When the tax collector comes to my door, I'll loan him my pen, which has been dipped in rapidly fading blue ink. 9. I resolve that if my beloved wife Mary should die, I will marry another Mary. 10. I resolve not to make a will. Who needs to spend money on a lawyer?
