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.                     (  Mike Reilley )
