When Mark Underwood was growing up, a corner was set aside in his house for a picture of a young man in a military uniform. When Mark was old enough, he asked: "Mommy who is that a picture of?"His mom told him: "Mark, that's a picture of Alfred Edsel Elkins. He is my daddy. He is your grandfather. He was a coal miner with the McKell Coal Company. He left the mines to fight in World War, II. When he got home, he worked for a chemical company called Union Carbide. Union Carbide was a dangerous place to work. It did not care about safety. Your grandfather was killed while working at Union Carbide. I was only eight years old when he died. Your uncles were even younger. It was very hard on our family."
