Photos taken on 4 January 2023. The plaque says, "Widespread job loss in Pennsylvania’s anthracite region in the late 19th century led many Ashland "boys" to seek employment elsewhere. Strong attachment to the miners' former hometown prompted formation of the A.B.A. c. 1900. Until 1976, the A.B.A. held Labor Day homecoming celebrations and during the Great Depression raised funds for the WPA-built Mothers' Memorial. It symbolizes abiding affection for family and community felt here and in the industrial US."
