I know Panama has a closed mine and I think that there is one around Sorento

Mine Company though

Subject: [ILBOND-L] coal mining in Bond County


> I am looking for information on coal mining in Bond County in the 1920s.
My

County
> and Clinton County. My mother, Earline Ida Manahan, daughter of Earl
> Harrison Manahan and Ida Agnes Weshinskey, was born in Pochahontas on
> December 22, 1925. My Mom's older sister told me her family left Bond
County
> around 1928 due to the coal mine, where my grandfather worked, shutting
down.
> Was there more than one mine in Bond County? Has a history of coal
mining
> in Bond County been written?
