The granite for the new memorial in Richlands comes from India and will be illuminated at night. The memorial sits on municipal office grounds with a front resembling a mine opening and water running over the engraved names. Finishing touches are underway.
OO Gene Heart says a full weekend of events surrounds the miner memorial dedication set for May 17 with U.S. Rep. Rick Boucher as keynote. The granite memorial lists 1135 miners from Buchanan, Tazewell and Russell counties. Programs include a Friday parade, bluegrass by Alternate Roots, Saturday ceremonies, and a Sunday reading of names.
