Background:

Black Diamond Cemetery was founded in 1884 serving mostly coal miners and their families. Tombstones mark graves of residents who came from Wales, Italy, Australia, Russia, Germany and many other countries. Former Mayor Howard Botts says a Civil War veteran is buried there, as are many children who died in the early 1900s in epidemics of small pox and the flu. At least half a dozen graves mark those of mine workers who died in explosions in 1902, 1910 and 1915. The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in April 2000.
