We did, Mark. This was part of what my family's trucking business did in the beginning .... deliver coal to homes. My Dad unloaded the coal, a ton or more at a time, from the truck to most houses, by shovel and wheelbarrow. Brutal work. Most everybody had a room in basement dedicated to coal storage. He dropped the load down a coal chute into that room.
Coal was great heat, but it took a lot of manual labor by homeowner. In our house, we had what was called a stoker furnace, that you put coal on a belt and it automatically fed coal to the fire box so no one had to get up in the night to keep the house warm.
Days gone by
