Mary Humstone Company Quotations

When you walk through the site, you see the industrial side of it with all the buildings and just imagine how people worked there, and of course the company town part of it. The houses, the clotheslines and things people planted -- it's really kind of a ghostly feeling as you walk through the town. You can imagine what life was like.

The company town and ethnic history with so many ethnic groups that lived at Sunrise were really a big influence on Hartville and Guernsey. We had to research the history of the mine and mining town and then do a very intensive survey of the site itself.
