I happened upon this URL while researching another topic. It references a publication microfilmed by the LDS Family History Library entitled "Index of Fatalities in West Virginia Coal Mines 1883-1925". This might be a source of information you can obtain through your local Family History Center. I am planning to check it out myself, as I lost several relatives in the coal mines during this time period. The URL is: http://www.swcp.com/~dhickman/wvcmf/wvcmf.html Hope this is helpful.
