Robert Eugene Harkins was killed in a coal mine explosion in Blocton, Alabama when his youngest son, Fred Harkins was only 2 years old, leaving his wife, Ollie with 5 boys to raise by herself. All Robert's & Ollie's children are now deceased.
Robert had 3 brothers, Jesse Edward, Pulaski "Kye" Lacey, & Effie Ruport Harkins and 1 sister, Sallie Harkins. All are deceased and I am certain all died and are buried in Alabama.
I am in the process of finding out the cemeteries in which they are buried. If anybody can help me, I would appreciate it. Kaye Harkins McClintock
