Di you know the City Of Logan once had two operating coal mines ? One was the Aracoma mine,on the west end; and the Wilson mine, on the east side. Logan was one of the richest coal towns in WV, back years ago.They had two coal companys paying taxes to the city. Both mines are now gone.

I recall the Bus service in abt 1945 between Logan and Man that ran about once every hour. On the side of the Buses was the statement, "Serving the Billion Dollar Coal fields" I think the Buses were Greyhound but they may have been a local company. But it showed where our living came from.
