Minister Turns Miner to Poultry Entrepreneur After Injury
M F Rubin, born in Spain, travels world as clerk and bartender before settling near Coal City. A 1932 mining injury spurred a path to rehabilitation through Vocational Rehabilitation Center in Charleston, leading to a poultry farm on his own property. He now raises chickens, sells dressed birds for banquets, and performs weddings, illustrating a successful handicapped reintegration.
