100th Year Commemoration
I have been working to get ready for the 100th anniversary of this coal mining disaster. I will be marking every grave with a yellow flower (similar to my Memorial Day tradition), and I will be giving a guided tour through the cemetery following the flag ceremony and program.
For the last month, I have been working with the cemetery
and drawing up a map of the burial plots of the miners who were killed. I have also attended the Lincoln County
Historical meetings, hiked up to the mine site with a group, been in
discussions regarding the new memorial sign that is in the works, and attended
a Kemmerer City Council meeting.
There has been so much effort and work for this
commemoration program, and I have to give a big shout out to Carol, the
president of the Lincoln County Historical Society. She has been amazing and wonderful to work
with.
I will update more about the event and program,
afterwards.
