This cemetery is smaller and more remote, but it is similar to the Leach Cemetery in the most significant details. A large number of miners were all killed in the accident on December 9, 1911 at the Cross Mountain mine, and many were buried in this cemetery.
The approximate location is shown in this OpenStreetMap.
The photo at left shows the traditional pick and shovel mining symbol on the base of the central monument. Unfortunately, it has been damaged.
The photo at right looks down the gravel road through the
cemetery.
Some unique headstones shaped like tree trunks are seen in this photo.
The base of the central monument is engraved with the names of the many miners who died in the tragic accident.
| Quote of the moment |
| If civilization is to survive, the principles of the Prince of Peace must be restored. Shattered trust between nations must be revived. Most important of all the will for peace on the part of peace loving nations must express itself to the end that nations that may be tempted to violate their agreements and the rights of others will desist from such a course. There must be positive endeavors to preserve peace. America hates war, America hopes for peace. Therefore, America actively engages in the search for peace. |
| ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. FDR Speaks authorized edition of speeches, 1933-1945 (recordings of Franklin Roosevelt’s public addresses), side 4, bridge dedication speech—”Quarantine” Speech at Chicago, Illinois (Oct. 5, 1937), ed. Henry Steele Commager, Introduction by Eleanor Roosevelt, Washington Records, Inc. (1960). This was part of a campaign on the part of the President to prepare Americans for the realities of an impending world conflict and the need to counteract the acts of aggression which were possibly headed toward another world war. ~ |
