Erected at the site of a coal tipple on Knob Branch Road this plaque reads, “In memory of the coal miners whose lives were lost during the Weirwood Mine Explosion of August 6, 1919”. Pictured in the background is a coal company house which has been occupied since it was built in 1912. This plaque was placed through the efforts of a local group to remember those who lost their lives in this little noted mining disaster. This type of effort by local groups demonstrates the continued appreciation of the sacrifices made by miners and their families. |
