Beautiful photograph! Their expressions convey so much meaning. As a side note: if you're interested in learning even more about your heritage, I highly suggest reading Alessandro Portelli's They Say in Harlan County (Oxford University Press, 2012). While the text covers Appalachian Kentucky culture and blue-collar labor rather than that of West Virginia, it is still a fantastic compilation of oral histories that probably displays many similarities to the narratives you may have heard from your relatives. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Portelli when he visited my university last year and lectured about this particular text. I think you (and others interested in Appalachian history) will truly enjoy it.

Why? :\^)
Look into some regional history. My great-great grandfather was there, and this is one of the best books I've ever read (Night Comes to the Cumberlands is number 1 for non-fiction/history)
