INDEX "Seventy Years in the Coal Mines" by Philip FRANCIS was published originally without an index. For better genealogical searching, I have painstakingly created an index of names with page number references. Names are listed alphabetically in each of the four geographic locations shown below. Some identifiers are provided in parentheses following the name. Names are shown as they were spelled in the book (my great grandfather was self-educated). In some instances, possibly missing or extra letters are shown in parentheses. When only a given or surname is mentioned, the missing part of the name is shown by a blank line. A few famous names such as LINCOLN, CUSTER, and SITTING BULL are included, although the names were merely mentioned historically in the book, and the individuals played no role in the author's life.
