Coal Mining Days
A coal miner's farm at 50 camp
This condensed life story of a mining family was written by PSU retired Professor William Powell, who enjoyed numerous interviews with Pasquale (under a shade tree on the Barone farm), Patrick A. Barone, Mary Barone Cleland, and the late Angelo Frank Barone who also wrote several articles about his family life in The Morning Sun.
The Barone family history was provided by Regina Falcetto.
Pat Barone submitted his grandfather's name to Miners' Memorial.
After migrating during the early 1900's from the province of Calabria in southern-most Italy, Pasquale and Rosina Barone and their young daughter, Antoniette, lived for several years in Breezy Hill, a coal mining camp in eastern Crawford County.
Pasquale worked in underground mining.
Rosina was a homemaker and gave birth to three sons (Anthony, Michael, and Angelo Frank).
In 1917 Pasquale and Rosina moved to 50 Camp, west of Arma, and bought 40 acres near the eastern edge of the mining community. They later bought an additional 160 acres. With this expansion a sizeable agricultural production occurred through the years.
Pasquale worked for years as a miner in 50 and 51 mines of the Central Coal Company and 21 mine of the Wear Coal Company.
Rosina remained a homemaker and gave birth to two daughters (Virginia and Mary).
The six children grew up helping with the many responsibilities of home and farm.
The agriculture which evolved over the years on the Barone farm was of a mixed nature. The animal husbandry and crops were equally important. The farm was a mixture in a second way, it was a blend of American and Italian agriculture.
Beef and dairy cattle, draft horses, goats, hogs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guineas were kept. Processed from all except the horses were fresh cuts of meat, cured ham and bacon, sausage, salami, head cheese, cracklings, pickled pig's feet, lard and eggs. From goats and dairy cows came whole milk, cream which was sold, and skim milk which as "slopped" to the hogs. Rosina churned butter and made several kinds of cheese (ricotta, Brie, etc.)
Hardly any animal product was wasted. Some sheep hides became carpets in bedrooms. Rosina knitted socks from sheep's wool. Hog's blood was given to others who made blood sausage. Brains from slaughtered animals were consumed.
Varied crops were raised: oats, wheat, corn, vegetables, grapes, figs, and other fruits (pears, apples, persimmons), and Italian herbs.
Rosina cooked for many years over a coal and wood-burning stove even during the summers with no air conditioning. However, when her dining table was set, it "ranneth over" with nutritious, tasty foods. From threshing (harvesting) crews to single visitors, everyone liked to eat at Rosina's table.
One of the most intriguing features near the Barone house was an outdoor baking hearth or oven. It was largely constructed of bricks and masonry by a man of Italian ancestry for the Barones. Its shape resembled a large rectangle six feet or over in height. The baking oven was similar to the ones used in rural Calabria during the "old days" before the advent of gas and electricity.
Wood was first burned inside the oven. After the ashes were removed and the interior cleaned, the risen and shaped dough was placed inside the hot hearth and baked. This oven baked countless loaves over the years for the Barones, their relatives, and neighbors.
Like other European immigrants in the coal field, Pasquale made his wine and home brew. He sold none of the homemade liquors; they were consumed at home or given away.
The grapes which he grew on his property did not have sufficient sugar content to make quality wine. Instead they were eaten fresh, crushed for unfermented juice, or Rosina used the homegrown grapes in making of jams and jellies.
Each year, Pasquale placed a large order for grapes grown in California. He made wine as it was in the "old country". A pair of clean, rubber boots were worn in the mashing of grapes in wooden barrels. A lengthy and carefully monitored process of fermentation resulted in buon vino (good wine).
Wine was served at lunches, dinners, and at special occasions. No one was required to drink it, and wine was consumed usually in moderate amounts. Pasquale preferred wine over water much of the time; he thought water was best left for cooking and washing. Yes, Pasquale had another use for his wine. He soaked his false teeth overnight in it! Everything had usually more than one use in the Barone household.
The Spanish influenza struck the world and even reached the Little Balkans during the period of the First World War. This virulent plague caused frequent deaths in the coal field. Entire families died from it. The Barone family completely escaped it.
Pasquale and his son, Angelo Frank, attributed the good fortune to the family's diet of goat's milk, vegetables, homemade bread and cheese, condiments, and the Italian wine. The Barone family was subsisting on a healthy Mediterranean diet for many decades before it became adopted in many American homes of the present time.
Pasquale retired from mining, and with Rosina maintained the farm until 1974. In July of 1974, Pasquale died in his sleep at the age of 90. He had lived at his home place for 57 years. Rosina died in her sleep in 1984 at the age of 102. This narrative celebrates their lives.

Coal Mining Days
A coal miner's farm at 50 camp
This condensed life story of a mining family was written by PSU retired Professor William Powell, who enjoyed numerous interviews with Pasquale (under a shade tree on the Barone farm), Patrick A.

The Barone family history was provided by Regina Falcetto.

After migrating during the early 1900's from the province of Calabria in southern-most Italy, Pasquale and Rosina Barone and their young daughter, Antoniette, lived for several years in Breezy Hill, a coal mining camp in eastern Crawford County.
Pasquale worked in underground mining.
Rosina was a homemaker and gave birth to three sons (Anthony, Michael, and Angelo Frank).

Everything had usually more than one use in the Barone household.
The Spanish influenza struck the world and even reached the Little Balkans during the period of the First World War. This virulent plague caused frequent deaths in the coal field. Entire families died from it. The Barone family completely escaped it.
Pasquale and his son, Angelo Frank, attributed the good fortune to the family's diet of goat's milk, vegetables, homemade bread and cheese, condiments, and the Italian wine. The Barone family was subsisting on a healthy Mediterranean diet for many decades before it became adopted in many American homes of the present time.
Pasquale retired from mining, and with Rosina maintained the farm until 1974. In July of 1974, Pasquale died in his sleep at the age of 90. He had lived at his home place for 57 years. Rosina died in her sleep in 1984 at the age of 102. This narrative celebrates their lives.

Coal Mining Days
A coal miner's farm at 50 camp
This condensed life story of a mining family was written by PSU retired Professor William Powell, who enjoyed numerous interviews with Pasquale (under a shade tree on the Barone farm), Patrick A. Barone, Mary Barone Cleland, and the late Angelo Frank Barone who also wrote several articles about his family life in The Morning Sun.
The Barone family history was provided by Regina Falcetto.
Pat Barone submitted his grandfather's name to Miners' Memorial.
After migrating during the early 1900's from the province of Calabria in southern-most Italy, Pasquale and Rosina Barone and their young daughter, Antoniette, lived for several years in Breezy Hill, a coal mining camp in eastern Crawford County.
Pasquale worked in underground mining.
Rosina was a homemaker and gave birth to three sons (Anthony, Michael, and Angelo Frank).
In 1917 Pasquale and Rosina moved to 50 Camp, west of Arma, and bought 40 acres near the eastern edge of the mining community. They later bought an additional 160 acres. With this expansion a sizeable agricultural production occurred through the years.
Pasquale worked for years as a miner in 50 and 51 mines of the Central Coal Company and 21 mine of the Wear Coal Company.
Rosina remained a homemaker and gave birth to two daughters (Virginia and Mary).
The six children grew up helping with the many responsibilities of home and farm.
The agriculture which evolved over the years on the Barone farm was of a mixed nature. The animal husbandry and crops were equally important. The farm was a mixture in a second way, it was a blend of American and Italian agriculture.
Beef and dairy cattle, draft horses, goats, hogs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guineas were kept. Processed from all except the horses were fresh cuts of meat, cured ham and bacon, sausage, salami, head cheese, cracklings, pickled pig's feet, lard and eggs. From goats and dairy cows came whole milk, cream which was sold, and skim milk which as "slopped" to the hogs. Rosina churned butter and made several kinds of cheese (ricotta, Brie, etc.)
Hardly any animal product was wasted. Some sheep hides became carpets in bedrooms. Rosina knitted socks from sheep's wool. Hog's blood was given to others who made blood sausage. Brains from slaughtered animals were consumed.
Varied crops were raised: oats, wheat, corn, vegetables, grapes, figs, and other fruits (pears, apples, persimmons), and Italian herbs.
Rosina cooked for many years over a coal and wood-burning stove even during the summers with no air conditioning. However, when her dining table was set, it "ranneth over" with nutritious, tasty foods. From threshing (harvesting) crews to single visitors, everyone liked to eat at Rosina's table.
One of the most intriguing features near the Barone house was an outdoor baking hearth or oven. It was largely constructed of bricks and masonry by a man of Italian ancestry for the Barones. Its shape resembled a large rectangle six feet or over in height. The baking oven was similar to the ones used in rural Calabria during the "old days" before the advent of gas and electricity.
Wood was first burned inside the oven. After the ashes were removed and the interior cleaned, the risen and shaped dough was placed inside the hot hearth and baked. This oven baked countless loaves over the years for the Barones, their relatives, and neighbors.
Like other European immigrants in the coal field, Pasquale made his wine and home brew. He sold none of the homemade liquors; they were consumed at home or given away.
The grapes which he grew on his property did not have sufficient sugar content to make quality wine. Instead they were eaten fresh, crushed for unfermented juice, or Rosina used the homegrown grapes in making of jams and jellies.
Each year, Pasquale placed a large order for grapes grown in California. He made wine as it was in the "old country". A pair of clean, rubber boots were worn in the mashing of grapes in wooden barrels. A lengthy and carefully monitored process of fermentation resulted in buon vino (good wine).
Wine was served at lunches, dinners, and at special occasions. No one was required to drink it, and wine was consumed usually in moderate amounts. Pasquale preferred wine over water much of the time; he thought water was best left for cooking and washing. Yes, Pasquale had another use for his wine. He soaked his false teeth overnight in it! Everything had usually more than one use in the Barone household.
The Spanish influenza struck the world and even reached the Little Balkans during the period of the First World War. This virulent plague caused frequent deaths in the coal field. Entire families died from it. The Barone family completely escaped it.
Pasquale and his son, Angelo Frank, attributed the good fortune to the family's diet of goat's milk, vegetables, homemade bread and cheese, condiments, and the Italian wine. The Barone family was subsisting on a healthy Mediterranean diet for many decades before it became adopted in many American homes of the present time.
Pasquale retired from mining, and with Rosina maintained the farm until 1974. In July of 1974, Pasquale died in his sleep at the age of 90. He had lived at his home place for 57 years. Rosina died in her sleep in 1984 at the age of 102. This narrative celebrates their lives.
