Doris, Thanks for the Lee County Memories site. I briefly went on, but will be back before the days end. I have a sister, Velma who will hopefully join this list & relate some of her own stores of living in a coal mining town. She has a story of going to the boarding house in Lynch, Ky & will touch base with you, I'm sure. I notice your Ely name in marriage. Our mother, Edith G. Bledsoe had a cousin, Edna Neeley who married an Ely. Do you have her in your husbands family? Mary
