In the early 1900s, coal miners' ages varied widely, but many were teenagers or young adults, often starting work as young as 12 years old. It was common for entire families to work in the mines, with children contributing to the household income. The dangerous and grueling nature of the work often led to early aging and health issues among miners, making the workforce predominantly comprised of younger individuals seeking economic opportunities.
