Mays brothers

I am looking for information on twin brothers, Tommie and Lonnie Mays. The were born in about 1908 in Logan Co., WV and both died in a mine explosion in 1938 in Buchanan Co., VA. I would like to have any information available on these two brothers. Such as their parents, spouses, exact dates of birth and where they are buried. I have read that they are buried near Matewan.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Rodney
