Kinmundy, IL: Kinmundy Coal Mine

(Satellite, it appears that, to avoid subsistence issues, the land above the mine is now the town's lagoons.)

Dolores Ford Mobley posted
Kinmundy Coal Mine - it was short-lived, but sat north of the Kinmundy Grade School/South Central Grade School.
"This coal mine operated from 1884 – 1905 & closed because of high coast of operating/ not cost effective. It went down 863 ft. & was 5 ft. thick."

As expected, the mine was up by the C&EI tracks.
