Hi Amy, After reading this plus the other e-mail about the other person dying in the same type of accident we can see that this place was in dire need of a hospital. Now I start to wonder how many of the men that died or were hurt that my guncle may have known. Thank you for all your digging. I am certainly gaining some insight into what type of working environment these immigrants had.
