Hi Jo, You might be able to find some help here: _http://patheoldminer.rootsweb.com/darr2.html_ (http://patheoldminer.rootsweb.com/darr2.html) The author of the above link, regarding the history of miners and disasters in the PA region, might have some clues.

I'm still grasping at straws trying to find death date and place of burial for Henry/Henderson Taylor. I found him in 1900 living in Frostburg, then in 1910 he is still living in Frostburg but his son James is the head of household. Family lore has he died in 1911 in Frostburg and also was buried in Frostburg. I've sent for and received 3 death certificates for Henry Taylor, but all are for someone else. The Presbyterian Church in Frostburg says their records for the year 1911 cannot be found, but she did find son James record of marriage. So that was a big help. The 1910 census said that neither Henry nor James had worked for 6 months. (their occupations were listed as miners. Any and all help greatly appreciated. Jo in PA
Thanks Glen, but it didn't seem to help. Very interesting reading, but not correct area. Some other relatives have worked in Westmoreland mines and also Fayetee County, Pennsylvania. But since I found him in the census in Frostburg in 1900 and also 1910, I think that should be area to look.
