The earliest date that the Ray County Historical Society has for the union mining records is 1904. Basically what these are, the pay records. Not every mine in Ray County was union, so we do not have every record of all miners after the union was started. Another thing to remember is that gold mining was something that people left the farming life to try to make good money for their family.
