Ladies Can Be Miners, Too!


This lady discovered her own mine, learned how to set the blasting caps, blew tons of mountain loose, and rummaged through the debris all by herself.  She was known as the Lady Miner from Mineral Park.  Her husband died during all of this, she remarried, had twins (both of whom died).  Over the next years which included giving birth to four more children, Cordelia built a very profitable mining business.  Through it all, she was always known as a lady!
