Gerald,
My grandpa, his dad and all his uncles worked the mines at Alix for a lot of years. My grandpa started in the mines in 1918 when he was just nine years old to help support his family after his father's death.
Thank you for posting the history. We have a family reunion coming up and I am going to share it with my kinfolk and see if I can collect some stories for our history book.
