Black Diamond Coal Mine, Melbourne, MO.

I'm thinking one of Grandma Grace's brothers worked in a coal mine...Leland, maybe? googling trying to find out when this was opened. A.P. Harrison caught my eye. was he a son of Harriett Hughes Harrison Maxwell? that name rings a bell for some reason....
and Lewis M. Davis have incorporated the Melbourne Coal Mining Company at Melbourne, Mo., with a capital of $3,000.
not finding dates.

Buck was my great grandfather. I still live in Melbourne. He was an owner of that mine. There's a brimson community Facebook page where they discuss things like this from the area.
