Caption: Pennsylvania Anthracite Miners Memorial Marker-Plaque 2
Additional Description: Guided only by a dim light that carried him through the night or day, his blackened face and weary eyes etched the strength and unshakable pride of the Pennsylvania Anthracite miner. Many yesterdays, todays and tomorrows were built by his hard working hands using only a pick and a shovel-Roseanna Hall. In loving memory of all those members of the Blaschak Family who devoted their lives to the anthracite mining industry.
