Bronze Sculpture To Honor Miners
{Harlan, Kentucky}…Artist
Joyce Minnick, a Harlan native who currently lives in Indiana, has donated a bronze
sculpture called "A Way of Life" to honor eastern Kentucky miners, which
is planned to be displayed at the Coal Museum in Benham. Minnick says she used
mining items that belonged to her grandfather, John W. Jump of Closplint, to
create the sculpture. Minnick is raising funds to cast her creation in bronze
before it is placed at the museum. In order to do that, she is asking that
people interested in adding a loved one's name to a bronze plaque that will go
with the sculpture contribute $100 to the project. She says she is taking 100
names, just enough to pay for the bronze casting, and that those who contribute
will be notified of the date that the sculpture will be dedicated.
