If any one needs information from the Welch Daily News , you will find them courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. You should not expect to much as most of the newspaper archives have been distroyed by fires. This is common so I have been told for most of the McDowell County news agencies. The Welch Daily News started publishing in Dec 1923. If there are any members on line who belong to the McDowell Historical Society. I need information concerning a mine accident resulting in deaths approximately July 15, 1923 in McDowell County. I am seeking the name of the company, the mine name or number, the location of the mine and any information concerning the causalities. I lost my grand father in this accident. Thanks for your time, Bill Mele
