As late as 1957 it was a minimum of a 12 hour drive from Ripley in Jackson County West Virginia to Pocahontas Virginia. This was a extremely hard drive prior to the completion of the West Virginia Turnpike and a major portion of I-77. This statement aside, I do not recognize the names of those you list. However my wife's grandfather also died working at the Pocahontas Mine. His name was Henry Harrison Newman and he died 20 March 1924 at the age of 28 years. He is buried on the mountain at Berwind in McDowell County. WV but there is a large cemetery on the side of the mountain at Pocahontas of many miners who died working the Pocahonta mine.
