Williamson County, Illinois - The whole text, 1919 (part 3 of 7)

Our County, which was the greatest coal producing county of the State for ten years, broke all previous records in production during the war period. The following figures which are taken from the State Coal report, is a silent tribute to the loyalty of the men who so untiringly and unselfishly toiled to bring about .such a splendid result in response to our Nation's call and need.

In the year 1916, Williamson county produced 7,904,528 tons of coal, which was a slight increase over that of 1915. The average tons of coal produced per man employed, being approximately 930 tons for the year.

In the year 1918, we produced 11,685,101 tons, an increase of approximately of two million tons over that of 1917, and four million tons over that of 1916. The average coal produced per man being 1,170 tons for the year.

It will be noticed that as the production of coal for the county increased each year, the production per man also increased. This proves conclusively, with what unselfish energy, the men in the mines of Williamson county responded to the call of the Nation for "MORE COAL."

The men on the firing line in France, whom we all honor and revere, who paid the supreme sacrifice, and those who were willing to do so if necessary, among whom were many miners from Williamson county; did not serve their country any more patriotically and unselfishly, than the man who stayed at home and toiled in the mines to produce the coal that was so much needed.

The spirit of "WIN THE WAR" imbued both the soldier abroad and the workman at home, and- both went to- the limit of physical endurance to accomplish that end.

The Mining Industry of our County gave liberally to the government in all of its calls for financial aid. Government Bonds and War Savings Stamps were bought by all engaged in the business.

It can be said to the credit of both employer and employee that no industry of any nature, gave more liberally and willingly than did the coal mining industry. This is especially so of the mining industry of Williamson county. Each appeal for funds was met with a hundred per cent response by the miners of the county.

Surely with a record that shows an increased production per man, for the years mentioned, from 930 tons to 1,170 tons for a year, and an increased production in the county from 7,904,528 tons to 11,655,101 tons, it can be said in writing the record of Williamson county in the "WORLD'S WAR FOR DEMOCRACY," that the miners "DID THEIR BIT."

It is a record that can be handed to posterity with pride and self satisfaction by those who were in active service, as an accomplishment of the mining industry of Williamson county, in a time of our Nation's need.

TT is the nature of things and part of human experience that we cannot go far in the journey of life without losing our comrades and companions as we go. We start out with a light heart, apparently well equipped for the road, compact, with a cheerful sense of entire security, 'but we have not gone far before one and another falls from the ranks and we are left behind. This is the tragedy in the ordinary course of human life with its record of bright faces and familiar forms left behind in that great solitude we call the Past.

How much more impressive is the tragedy of war and the experience of the soldiers in the day of battle as one by one their comrades suddenly fall in the ranks and their places become vacant! While not unmindful of the devoted services of those who survived the awful ordeal, it is the memory of the fallen that will be specially cherished. They freely gave their lives for their country's cause. They will always be held in loving remembrance. As we name them in our hearts, we thank God that at the call of duty they did not falter and in the hour of death they knew no fear. Though absent in body they will be with us in Memory.

They gave the world an object lesson of the manly and the heroic, the courage that cares for neither danger nor devil, they were inspired with a patriotic fervor that would be anathema for the cause of Liberty - for:

The soldier's sacrifice of himself is understandable only if he is an immortal spirit and has lost nothing in giving his life in the supreme hour that tested him.

This is widely true of that glorious company of youth who went to the front from Williamson County, and were not in the marching columns of those who returned in triumph. Many of them discovered the unseen world and saw, suddenly revealed, their own immortal souls when the time came for the supreme sacrifice for a noble ideal.

Our hearts will continue to mourn the absence of the dear ones who won for us the World's freedom which was involved in the great struggle; but we are comforted by the blessed hope of immortality and we rejoice in the assurance of Him who said - "Because I live ye shall live also," and we think with love and gratitude of that mighty host who have, for our sakes, given up their own lives and preserved for us that glorious heritage whose foundations were laid by patriarchs and pioneers now long ceased from their labors.

"How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, By all their country's wishes blest! By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung; There honor comes, a pilgrim gray, To bless the turf that wraps their clay, And Freedom shall awhile repair, To dwell a weeping hermit there."
