Frieda, Thanks for sharing that list with us. I had just finished adding it to the Tazewell County Home page and was just going to write to you and tell you where to find it. http://www.rootsweb.com/~vatazewe/coalbish.html Other people have told me they are working on articles for a section on Tazewell County coal mines also. Hopefully, your article will inspire others. I hope to be able to do a section on timber and lumbering as well.
