Dear Shawn, What a great tip on the Minglewood mine. We knew there was a mine in North Lawrence but didn't know the name. I would think that is my grandfather the report talks about or maybe his father my great grandfather who was also named John Anderson he would have been 63 at the time. My brother remembers being told that my dad never worked down in the mines because someone in the family got hurt and my grandmother didn't want the same thing to happen to him. And after reading the mine reports I have to agree. The Minglewood mine had almost double the deaths and injuries as any other Ohio mine at the time. How did you ever find this, what a super researcher you are. Maybe my grandfather was on some kind of company team. But we were always told he was in the national minor leagues. They they ment the Miner Leagues...haha family history what a kick..Thanks so much.
