Virtual Cemeteries by Shawn Sweeney

Mossboro Mine Explosion Victims

A Virtual Cemetery created by Shawn Sweeney

27 memorials

At 4pm on January 29, 1926, just as the miners were leaving the mine, coal dust was ignited by a "windy shot" and, probably helped by methane gas, the mine exploded, killing 27 men. This virtual cemetery is constructed to their memory.
