My parents grew up squarely in coal mining country in south-western PA (Bentleyville, Cokeburg, Eighty-Four [home of 84 Lumber!]).
Dad's dad mined coal and Mom's dad worked in the companion industry (steel milling). Fortunately neither was seriously injured from it, but other friends and family members were not as fortunate.
