The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗In 1907, fire destroyed the surface equipment of the Numa Block mine, then the most productive mine in the county. The Numa Block shaft was 150 feet (46 m) deep, giving access to a 30-inch (760 mm) coal seam. The Numa Block Coal Company also owned mines in Seymour, (about 8 miles (13 km) to the west). In 1912, Local 875 of the United Mine Workers, based in Numa, had 392 members.
