  1. Liked the pictures of the old Crucible School. Yet so sad in a way that someone didn't buy it and build something to remember the history of the mining and farming town of Crucible & Rices Landing. I went to school there in 1956 to 1959.I lived on a farm on the ferry road above Margret Michell and across from the Vrona farm. My uncles and grandfather all worked in the Crucible mine and my uncles were forced to go to West Vergina after they closed the mine. My grandfather died of black lung, never got a cent for it. Use to walk the railroad tracks to Muddy Creek to fish for catfish. Stanley's in Crucible was my hang out & when I moved to Michigan I would come back for summer vacations to my grandfathers farm till i was 13 years old.

  2. This is a great website. My grandfather was John Rocks, and his brother Francis Rocks, were owners of the Sunshine Coal & Coke Co. of Masontown, Pa. They owned the Teresa Mine & Coke Works and are the ones who named the mine after John's daughter Teresa @ 1904. They also owned the coal patch town of Sunshine, which was a mile or so away from the Teresa Mine near Martin on Rt. 166. If anyone out there has photos of of the town of Sunshine I would be interested in seeing or buying copies of them. I have lot's or research info to share if anyone is interested. maryjim.hirsh@gmail.com
