Collection Overview

Biography / History
Ethel Pauline Canterberry was born March 10, 1930, in Riley, West Virginia. Except for eleven years in Sarasota, Florida, Pauline lived her entire life in Boone County, WV. She was the daughter of a miner who died of silicosis and the wife of a WWII Veteran and POW, Delbert Canterberry, who also mined coal and died of black lung in 1991.
Pauline and Delbert raised two children, Susan and John. Pauline worked for 16 years managing the Dollar General Store in Whitesville, WV. She attended the Whitesville Baptist Church from the time she was a teenager. Always committed to helping her community, she was a member of the Silver-Haired legislature, a poll worker, and a volunteer for the Red Cross. Pauline was keenly intelligent, indefatigable, and fearless. She also loved to laugh and play jokes and said many times that only through her sense of humor could she survive the stress of activism and of living in the midst of destruction. Neighbor Mary Miller was her partner in activism and in pranks; sometimes these were one and the same, like the time Mary dressed as a turkey stuffed with coal to protest the Massey charity Thanksgiving dinner in Sylvester in 2004.
In 1998, Elk Run Coal, a subsidiary of Massey Energy, enlarged a coal processing plant immediately beside the small town of Sylvester, where Pauline Canterberry and Mary Miller both owned homes. Part of the plant expansion included tearing down the bluff that had been protecting the town from coal dust. Elk Run operated with uncovered belt lines and uncovered coal stockpiles, and soon Sylvester, downwind, was coated in coal dust: homes, businesses, churches, and the elementary school were all affected.
Pauline and Mary Miller began a long fight to protect the property, health, and well-being of Sylvester's residents. They joined others petitioning the WV DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) and the WV legislature to enforce laws the Elk Run processing plant was violating. Mary and Pauline documented and monitored the dust in Sylvester by taking videos and photographs and by gathering coal dust samples from all over town using Handi-wipes that they carefully labelled and stored. They became known as the Dustbusters.
Lawyer Brian Glasser from the Law Firm of Bailey and Glasser in Charleston agreed to take the Sylvester case. In 2001 the DEP fined Massey Energy for failing to follow safety requirements and handling procedures and ordered them to put a dome over the Elk Run Facility to minimize the coal dust. In 2003, Judge Lee Slagel ruled that Massey Energy had damaged the way of life of the residents of Sylvester and thus must pay damages, all lawyer fees, hire a vacuum sweeper to clean the streets and yards in Sylvester, decrease the number of coal trucks passing through town every day, and install dust monitoring systems. Pauline testified at the trial and rallied many other local people to testify as well.
Following the successful lawsuit, Pauline and Mary continued their activism. They worked doggedly to ensure that Elk Run obeyed the court ruling, and they continued to monitor the dust in the community. They travelled to several states to speak out against mountaintop removal mining and the devastation in the southern West Virginia coalfields. Their trips included appearances at a Massey stockholders' meeting and at the Office of Surface Mining in Washington, DC. They worked to get the Big Coal River, full of sediment from mining and coal processing, rechanneled to prevent flooding. They monitored streams in the area, fought for the federal Clean Water Protection Act, and worked on the West Virginia Sludge Safety Project. They hosted journalists, photographers, filmmakers, and activists from all over the United States and Europe, and not only gave generously of their time and their knowledge, but also always made people feel welcome.
Her mind sharp to the end, Pauline was tracking and writing letters about the catastrophic Elk Run chemical spill just a few months before her death on May 9, 2014. The dialect in her letters is an important record in its own right. She was an astute and tireless observer of the social, political, economic, and environmental situations in her community and region, and her passion was achieving justice for all West Virginians.
