The following website gives an even more detailed description of the mine disaster at Johnstown: http://www.westsylvania.com/cfm/stories_detail.cfm?story_id=185. -----Original Message----- From: JAFSwkr@aol.com [mailto:JAFSwkr@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 5:39 PM To: HUNGARY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [HUNGARY-L] Mine in Johnstown Recently there has been discussion about various mine explosions. My Hungarian born grandfather told me he was in a mine explosion in Johnstown, PA. when he was a young man there. I do not know the dates, but he lived there from 1900 (he was 10) to 1918. Does anyone know about this and when it happened? Someone told me there is a plaque outside the mine today. Any information would be appreciated. Jay Farrell
