Town of Benedict

Benedict was a coal mining town in Lee Co Va. My mother was born there on Buzzards Roost 1927, witch I think might be all the way to the top of the rows of houses. Thanks to a couzin who shared this photo with me I am able to see where she was born. The area is now closed to public.

Date & Place: Not specified or unknown.
