About 200 people attended the dedication of the Miners' Memorial in Cumberland.  Stella Morris spearheaded this effort following the death of her husband.  The ceremony included music and various speakers including Rep. Charlie Siler, Rep. Rick Nelson, and Co. Judge Grieshop.  Cecil Roberts, President of the United Mine Workers, gave a rousing speech about the history of the labor movement and the need for more support for mine safety for all miners.
