Both grandfathers were miners and at least one uncle who was killed. I was eight years old in 1951 and remember the wake clearly. My Father too was a miner. We were from Dickson City.

My grandfather and his family worked in the Shamokin coal mines. They came from Ireland by the way of the coal mines in Wales. Brave, tough people.

My family was at Ellen-Gowan. My uncle started in the mines at ten years old, after his dad was killed in a mining accident. Can't imagine how hard life was then.

Thank you for sharing. This was very informative. The Lackawanna Mine is the one I haven’t toured yet. I’ve been to the Pioneer & #9 several times and been in some old workings. My Father’s family all came from Wilkes-Barre. After the water was stopped did the ever attempt to retrieve the 12 lost miners? God rest their souls. I was surprised the story on the Sheppton mine accident didn’t mention the one miner who wasn’t retrieved.

They built a dam around the whole, pumped out the Knox workings and went down. There are Library of Congress photos of this, it showed the crashed coal hopper cars, etc. They tried finding the 12, none were found, they allowed the mine to then re-flood in 1960.

You ought to ask viewers what the short wooden pegs are called that the miners are holding and what they were used for. Only old timers will get the correct answers. Signed...An Old Timer!
