West Frankfort, Illinois, Industrial Coal Co. Mine, Exterior, Kropp No. 890 N Roger Kujawa posted 1950 border postcard Industrial Coal Co, Mine No. 19, West Frankfort, Illinois Sally Holland: i think this is the one in pershing. Dennis DeBruler: Sally Holland The state documents Industrial #19 as index 51, and it shows that 51 is in West Frankfort. https://towns-and-nature.blogspot.com/2020/07/franklin-c-west-frankfort-il-industrial.html Sally Holland: Dennis DeBruler pershing is a part of w f. it has a west frankfort mailing address. but i am still not sure of it's location. we had close to 10 mines then. i know #'s 9 and 2 but can't remember the names of the others. locals tended to call them by the area of town and not their #s. James D Rusher: Dennis DeBruler I remember this Mine was called Peabody 18 Mine. It was located on the North East side of West Frankfort about one mile North of the West end of the 4 mile lane near the old school house which is still standing. This road is also the back road from West Frankfort to Benton, Illinois. Dennis DeBruler: James D Rusher Thanks. Peabody #18 would make it Index 256. But the state map and a 1938 aerial photo put the tipple here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/o8grNPRJnHk7vDRZ8 |

Instead of wasting my time working around a bug that I reported weeks ago, I leave the photo here as a monument to Google's bug.)
