A very somber memorial in deep mine coal country.

Easy to find. The order of the plaques is not obvious. The plaques don't mention the appalling conditions in the mines.
[Dan Mason, 09/05/2016]I visited this the same day I visited the courthouse where the Mollies were tried, and the grave of my great great grandfather, whom they murdered, along with many, many others. These gangsters got what they deserved, and the idea they deserve a monument is disgusting.
[Big Leo, 05/25/2012]Very easy to miss! Surrounded by brick walls and right next to the fire station. Drove by it about 5 times before seeing it.
