Please Help Us Find Hanna Miner Fatalities Buried in Unknown Places or Towns
What Happened to Them?
Some miners killed in the Hanna mines, do not have a known burial place. A search is on by the Hanna Basin Museum Website to find where the men were buried. There is no evidence they were buried in the Hanna cemetery, but that does not mean they weren't. All the men except Edward Tynsky, who was a 1952 fatality of the Nugget mine in Elmo, were killed over time in Union Pacific Coal Company mines in Hanna.
