nice catch, Shawn
We assume pictures like this depict "town teams," but a "mine team" seems equally plausible. And even though John Anderson is a common name, the fact that the mine was in the same town as the poster's grandfather is pretty compelling. I note JA, if it is the same one, was in the mines at only 15 years old. Makes you realize we don't have things so bad in comparison a hundred years later.
