Here are a few of the surviving miners' homes at Starford, PA. The mines at Starford were operated by Greenwich Coal & Coke Company and, later, by Barnes and Tucker and James Coal Company.
These foundations are at Wehrum, PA, which was a coal patch town built by the Lackawanna Coal & Coke Company in 1901. Although there were 250
company-built houses here once, almost nothing remains of Wehrum. These ruins are red brick with cut stone, and the two iron pieces appear to have been bearing support stands, perhaps for a hoist or fan.
On the mountain above Wehrum is the overgrown and forgotten
Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox
Cemetery for the immigrants that came to this coalfield.
A headstone in the cemetery near Wehrum, PA. The text appears to be Russian or Croation or something. The graves in this cemetery date from the first three decades of the 20th Century, and
there is no evidence that anyone has been buried there after 1930.
These are the remains of the Lackawanna No. 3 tipple in Buffington Township, Indiana County. The Lackawanna Coal & Coke Co. constructed the tipple with the opening
of the Lackawanna No. 3 coal mine in 1899. By the time the mine closed in 1929, Bethleham (Steel) Mining was the owner.
