    1. Burial Sites
    2. Per chance did the Jewell Ridge and/or Red Ash Mining Operations maintain a Cemetery for those employees killed while working in the mines, and their family members? Am still searching for burial sites of Virginia Bell Wilburn Gilley, m. to James Shaler Gilley, who died in Feb. 1909, believed to have lived in Richlands at the time. Also looking for her son - Edward who died in infancy in 1907-1908. James Shaler was employed by either or both Mining Operations at different times. Search for Medical Records at old Hospital in Richlands futile as medical records were burned in fire subsequently. Possibly Va. Bell and Edward were taken to Wise County, Va., where James Shaler's sisters and brothers were living in and around Appalachia, Va., for burial, although nothing found there either, so far. Appreciate hearing on the above. Thank you. Tim Gilley, Altamonte Springs, Fl.
