REMEMBERING THE LAST DAYS OF THE VILLAGE OF
BYRNESVILLE.
Most people that left Byrnesville because of the Centralia mine fire
were born and raised in the village and had spent 50
years of their life there.
Leaving behind a house
they worked and cared for all those years, a house where their children were born and where their ancestors
lived and died was not easy.
It was especially hard
to see a bulldozer destroy the building that contained all
those memories.
Here are some pictures
of some of these Byrnesville buildings just before and
after they were demolished.
