Miner operating a motor outside of number 5 mine. Maybe someone can identify him.

 

Photo submitted by Ivan (Adrian) Lowery - April 30, 2004.

Addition: January 7, 2006 "I just came across your website and was looking at some of the pictures. The one of the miner operating the motor outside Eccles No 5 I am not really sure without seeing the picture clearer but I think it is my Dad. He retired in the early 70's from there and him and his brother had both worked there forever. I just wish the picture was a little clearer and then I could tell you for sure but am almost sure from what I see, he was always a motorman at Eccles for as long as I can remember." James Michael Fleenor

Addition: January 8, 2006 "My father's name was Ernest Smith Fleenor and my uncle was Everet C. Fleenor My uncle lived right at the top of the hill on the left below the water tank." ..James Michael Fleenor
