"From Wence first there was the Light...
"Comes the Darkness"
(Theology 54.20)

She was born during a time of Severe Depression.
A Miner's daughter and an only child.
Born within the Darkness of a Coal Mine.
...
And as time progressed?
I must now stress as if dressed in a "Shroud of Coal Dust?"
"Ashes to Ashes"
"Dust to Dust"
"No God in We Trust?"
...
And yes these were simple times in Illinois.
You were either a Farmer or a Coal Miner.
And yes, you did as you must.
And, eventually...
"In God We Must All Trust"
...
Yes Sam was a hard-working man.
And yes, he lost his wife and he's trying the best that he can.
The best that he can to raise a young daughter.
A young daughter...
A Coal Miner's daughter.
...
Lura Lynn Ryan was born on July 5th, 1934.
And yes!
A poor Coal Miners daughter but with the most Beautiful Baby-Blue eyes that you would ever see!
...
Now, in the small town of Kankakee.
At the time there was a school that was faultering from a lack of qualified teachers.
Yes, so she was basically.
"Home-schooled."
By a father with a first grade education.
...
She would go with her dad occasionally into the depths of the mines.
And, as he would work.
She would write.
Yes, journal in her diary.
And, at the end of the day?
When there was Very, Little, light left.
I must now say.
She would pray...
Yes pray to be able to write!
Yes, pray that one day...
She would becoming a wonderful writer!
...
"From whence first there was the Light...
"Comes the Darkness"
...
Kankakee was a small town of only 506.
The best thing about it was the fact that coal was plentiful and easy to access.
But with any industry.
Yes, it had its faults during that time period.
That time period when people who mined were played with the "Black Lung Disease"
...
And, Lura's father began suffering from the after effects after a almost 20-year career of coal mining.
And, soon she would be left in the darkness all alone.

The year now is September 13th,1945.
Lura Lynn Ryan is now completely alone.
Her father had passed away three weeks previous.
It's amazing that he lived that long.
And now?
She is so sad, left all alone in the Darkness!
...
Oh yes, She has no visible income but she still has the small shack in the woods.
Yes, that her father had built the year before she was born in 1933.
...
She had a desk set up in her father's bedroom now and this is where she creates.
She is writing a story a similar story, about her own life.
And, she wonders one day?
If she will complete her life and become some coal miner's wife?
...
And, she has decided she will go back to the mines.
(without her father)
Yes, to earn an income?
She has his abilities and she has his clothing and tools to do this.
But she always was with her father.
So she was not afraid!
But there is one problem?
"This Lost Daughter of Darkness?"
Is scared to Death of the dark!
