Penn Run and Russell Coal Company Employment Records

The Penn Run Coal Company's Victor #45 Mine and the Russell Coal Company's Victor #29 Mine were opened near Clymer, in Indiana County, PA, in 1919. They were owned by Richard Peale of St. Benedict, Cambria County, who owned the mines' parent company Peale, Peacock, and Kerr Corporation. The mines produced at varying capacities during their years of operation, but were abandoned by the end of 1938.

This collection contains the employment records of these two mines during their last years of operation, 1934 to 1937. The records include information such as age, experience, national origin, physical description, and reason for leaving prior place of employment for each employee.
