REMEMBERING
BYRNESVILLE, PA.
1856---- 1996
(COLUMBIA COUNTY)
Byrnesville
was a small village in central Pennsylvania that was first inhabited in 1856 by people who came to work in the local coal
mines. The people who resided here were very hard working, religious and
patriotic. Although most of the people were of Irish
descent, there were also people
of other nationalities who lived here. Most people went to church at St. Ignatius
in nearby Centralia.
An underground mine fire that
started in Centralia resulted in the relocation of all the people because of the
smoke and fumes.
The
last home was torn down in 1996.
2006 would have been the 150th Anniversary
of the village of Byrnesville.
