While the Connellsville Coalfield was defined by a section of the Pittsburgh coal seam, there was an area south of Uniontown where the Sewickley seam reached a commercially viable thickness. In 1916, the Amend Coal Company opened a drift mine into this seam. They named the mine Amend No. 1 and constructed a company town to house the miners. A few years later, two new entries were driven on the other side of the hollow and named Amend No. 2 and No. 3. In 1923, the Jamison interests of Greensburg, Pa., absorbed Amend Coal Co. into Irwin Gas Coal Company, and the mines became known as Irwin No. 11. However, the town has always been known as Amend. I'm not sure when the mine closed, but it was still operating in the 1940s.
