His name was Thomas (acan) Merseal. We were 9 when he died but He would tell us stories when no one was around about some things he experienced while doing that job. I noticed that an earlier comment said that graveyard #1 was flooded. It was my grandfather and others who had to dig new graves for the caskets that were effected by the flooding. He said there were caskets just lying out on the ground..that's when they moved them to higher ground.

I visit there quite often. I have never seen anything out of the ordinary there. I’m not doubting that some people have seen or heard something. As far the church, I love it. I have been inside it countless times. Unfortunately it has been locked each time I go there for the past 2-3 years.

So *many* stories and layers of history that surrounded Local 890! Remarkable. Here's the link to that post: https://blog.livingrootless.com/2013/01/grant-county-new-mexico-revolution-in.html. <br /><br />The movie, Salt of the Earth, is on youtube as of today. But since it could disappear at any time, you can also stream it free via Kanopy or Hoopla, if your library offers one of these services to you.

He married a mobster's widow, Bootsie [Wife #3], a lupus sufferer, ... After Bootsie's death, he weds a strong-minded former Maryknoll nun by the name of Molly [Wife #4]. He was also married to a fourth woman before the book series starts - named Nicole [Wife #1]."<br /><br />BTW, poor Molly's character development gets shorter shrift than Dave and Alafair's pet raccoon, Tripod.

I used to work out of Hurley for the mine in another lifetime, late 90's, when it was all operational. Coming across things like this during this search really let loose some melancholy nostalgia. I can't wait to check out 'Salt of the Earth' that the previous commenter mentioned.<br /><br />Great blog site btw. I'm looking forward to reading more of it!hierochloenoreply@blogger.com
