Earl Montague's Coal Miner's Symbol from his tombstone.  Earl was my maternal great uncle and he and his brother's started working in the coal mines when they were just boys.  Earl came down with "Black Lung Disease" that made the last years of his life quite miserable and what he died from at 58.  See more on the Monticue/Montague line here.
