Coal Dust on the Tombstone

"Coal Dust on the Tombstones" ("All Rights Reserved U.S. Copyright ©2014") was written by Kay Smith Elliott honoring our Appalachian coal mining heritage and ancestry. This is not to be misconstrued as a negative view on mining and mining life as we have roots there also. Rather, it's a tribute to the strength and perseverance of these amazing Appalachian families and the hardships they endured. God bless our miners.
