Hi Folks, Does anyone have any information on the Lignite mines that were located in Oriskany, in Craig County, just outside of New Castle? My great-grandmother's first husband, LEWIS BARGER, was killed in a mine explosion there sometime between 1892 and 1899. I would like to find out the exact date, and possibly get a list of the miners who were killed then. A family rumor says that the miners are still in the mine, that they could not get them out to give them a proper burial. Does anyone know anything about this incident? Thanks for any advice you can offer. Surnames I am researching in Craig County are: BARGER, BURGER, CALDWELL, CHRISTIE, LEE, LUGAR, MANN, MCPHERSON, MILLS, WILLIAMS. Sincerely, Karen Miles-Mitchum darkwolf@usit.net
