“Mrs. A.J. Ruckman, wife of the superintendent of the Monongah group of mines, is directing the corps’ effort. ‘It is terrible,’ she declares. ‘In the beginning some were missed. We found one woman sick and almost insane, surrounded by five little children, barefooted and hungry. One little tot sat by the fireplace sucking a piece of coal. A baby almost dead lay unattended in the bed. They had not eaten in two days.’” (TSP 12.20.07 pg. 1)
