MAN, W.Va. -- Two coal trucks covered in black ribbons and wreaths led the funeral procession on Sunday for Don I. "Rizzle" Bragg, one of two West Virginia coal miners killed following a fire deep underground earlier this month.

The service was held at the Man High School field house because no other building in this state's southwestern small town could hold the several hundred mourners. Dozens of supporters held signs with messages such as "West Virginia loves our coal miners."
