Luther Richard Lilly, 66, of West Wickham, one of the first 12 United Mine Workers pension holders in District 29, is now officially retired but vows to keep working. He lives on a rural property overlooking Cabell Mt Tabor Road, born in 1882, started mining in 1901, and will receive a monthly pension of 100 after a $1,327.90 retroactive payment. Lilly and wife also collect social security, and he notes the long farm life with bees, fruit trees, and a bountiful garden while recounting family details including four sons and a daughter who died young.
