Miner Recollections are dramatic local stories, taken from history, of George’s Creek Valley Miners who perished in the coal mines. Glimpse the lives of our brave and hard-working ancestors who gave their lives to the coal mines, and the families they left behind.

These compelling articles are a collaboration of Polla Drummond Horn, Bucky Schriver, and Barb Armstrong and previously published in The Frostburg Express of The Cumberland Times-News.

They are very graciously shared with us here for all to enjoy. You may find one of your mining ancestors that will help in your own research.
