That’s closer to where I’m from. Paradise is Muhlenberg County, next door to me in Hopkins County.
My people came to Western Kentucky by way of North Carolina, East Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Eastern Kentucky. I reckon I have family who mined coal around Harlan.
Hell, my great-granddad mined for gold in the Yukon, and when my granny was born, they were living in Bisbee, Arizona, because he was mining copper.

I would think they were there in 1917, Granny was born in May of 1918.
I had no idea. That’s something I need to read more about. Thank you!
