This was a terrific idea. This could be (and should)
a very important beginning of a way to save information about Black Star. I hope
many will send or share their materials with you.

This is the first time I really found out my fathers backgroud and the history
of his family.
It would have been nice to hear it from his family before I turned 30.
A sincere Thank You to Alicia Kruse for contacting me and bringing a part of my
fathers family to life for the first time.
It is to bad that no one else cared until now. Adoree in California

All my life I have heard of Black Star. From my Mamaw (Winnie) Rose, my Daddy
(Orville) Rose, and anytime anyone from Black Star got together,
that's what they talked about, growing up in Black Star and their memories of
Black Star. I went there once as a little girl to a reunion.
There wasn't much left then. My Papaw (Starlin Rose) was a Fire Boss in the
mines. Mamaw always talked about "Old" Doc Hodge and
"Young" Doc Hodge. It always sounded like everyone who lived there was a big
family, unlike today, where we don't know a lot of our neighbors.
I have enjoyed this web site tremendously! You have done a great job.

I would like to thank you very much for your
hard work and dedication in putting this website together. My family lived at
Black Star.
My father, uncles, and 1 grandparent worked there. Their names were Rapier,
Hill, and Carter. There are more but I do not know their names.
My sister was born there in 1949 and a brother was born there in 1951. I was
born in 1953 after my family moved from Black Star.
My father worked there in the 40's until 1952 when he was layed off. In the
latter 50's we moved to Ohio where I now live. Looking back
at the coal camps and the way of life, it is all very interesting to me.
However, I fell that none of it should be glamorized. The fact is the people
gave their lives, their health, and their all, for a meager living at best. The
big coal companies came in, gutted the land, used the people, and l
eft the scars upon the land as well as in peoples minds. While some may find
pleasant thoughts and memories, I think to do so is good,
because it helps to subvert the actual pain and suffering heaped upon those who
actually endured that life. To merely dwell upon the
pleasant thoughts and memories while ignoring the rest is not seeing the forest
for the trees. My point is lets not forget what the people
endured, all of it. Again, thank you very much. C. Perry Rapier

I remember many things of my Black Star days. Little things that one
never forgets with time. I remember the days at school when we hated
to get "shots". I can almost freeze pictures in my mind. I see images of
folks, frozen in time. I don't care what anyone says, it was a more
simple, less troublesome time. Yes, there was sickness and death. A
close relationship fell upon us all, even if we didn't seem to like
someone, you would defend this person as your neighbor. The good and
the bad, we all withstood this. Faint memories will follow us to the end.
I can hear, at times, the children playing "kick-the-can" or other games
outdoors. The hillside was their playground. I remember a young girl,
sitting on the fence that surrounded the yard in front of the
restaurant. She always looked so happy, and at peace. Even the
miners, coming out of the mines, a dreadful job, seemed to have a grin on their faces
most of the time. Yes, they had something that is lacking today
in this society. The school sports were fantastic. This is a great
web site to help us reflect on where we came from. Thanks to all who
donated these pictures and thanks to the creators of this web site.
Good luck to all.

I just found this thanks to someone posting
the link on one of the
MyFamily sites. I have only looked at a
few of the pictures but will be
looking at more. I love looking at
pictures and although never visited
Black Star I know about the Anchor, Tway
and Warren mining camps that
used to be in operation in Knox Co. KY. I
know a little about Kay Jay
also. We lived in the city of Harlan in
Harlan Co. in 1954 & 55 and saw
a little of some of the camps near by.
Now do you have any more web pages that we
don't know about?
