A Memorial to the Coal Miners that Worked the
Claghorn Mines

Following is a partial list of the miners, mine employees and company store employees that worked the Claghorn Mines, Claghorn, West Wheatfield Twp., Indiana Co., PA.   The coal miners names have been researched and complied from various sources by Raymond A.
