I'm researching the Eastenes/Istenes/Estenes/Smith family --- they spelled it lots of different ways.

John Eastenes is mentioned in this article as he was killed instantly by the militia. He lived in near by Lafayette with his wife and six children

Others mentioned were:
Nick Spanudakhis, 34, Lafayette, lived only a few minutes. Frank Kovich of Erie, Rene Jacques, 26, of Louisville and 21 year old Jerry Davis died hours later in the hospital. The American flag Davis carried was riddled with seventeen bullet holes and stained with blood. Mike Vidovich of Erie, 35, died a week later of his injuries.

Does anyone have family involved in the Coal Mine at that time?
