Hi all, I would be interest in Helen and Koppers Coal mines , too. My Father, Paul Graham, worked there in the 1930' & 1940's. My Grandfather James Luke Graham was a carpenter for the Koppers Coal company and was killed in 1943 when he fell off of a roof at Helen. Uncle Howard Greely Blevins was killed there in a mining accident in 1941. Also, I believe my Grandfather Larken Lewis Shrewsbury worked for this company in the 1930's & 1940's. I have Raleigh County roots, too. In fact I get back to my beautiful mountains as often as I can and visit with my cousins. I would love to exchanged information. My lines are: SHREWSBURY, GRAHAM, HOWERTON, MCKINNEY and LILLY. Until Next time, Doris Doris Slaughter <dslaughter@bigfoot.com>
