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.

The Minglewood Coal Company was based in Wellston, OH about 190 miles from North Lawrence, OH. Sounds like it was a company team.

Dear Tim, Your sure right Shawn did hit a good one. My great grandfather was also named Jonh Anderson and also worked in that mine so might have been either. My great grandfather came from the mined of England to work in the mines in Ohio to make a better life for his family. So true we have it so much better than they did. They all worked so hard at such a young age so we could all go to school and become teachers and bussiness owners in our family. But we as they did always had the love of baseball. Thanks for your interest. Ruby
