Lackawanna Steel Co changed it's name to Bethleham Steel abt 1923. At one time they employed abt 23,000 people. Most of it's gone (it's on Rte 5 in Lacawanna) but still has something going on in a couple buildings. They may have had other plants in Bethleham PA. Maybe they owned their own hospital or an annex of that hospital in tne plant. There are probably books on the history of the steel co. which might shed some light.

Lightening hit 3 places in the area that day and he lost is footing when a flash startled him. I'm trying to put together a scenario of his last day as part of writing his story but I haven't been able to find the locations of the Steal company or the Hospital. He was living at 544 Perry St., Buffalo at the time and I have that location on a map. He would have gone to work at the Lakawanna Steal Co. in the morning but I haven't been able to find it's location other than Lackawanna the city is only 4 miles from Perry St. Does anyone have an address for the Plant in 1920. He fell at 4 pm and was taken to Moses Taylor Hospital where he died at 6:05 pm. The only Moses Taylor Hospital that I have been able to locate is the one in Scranton PA but it is more than 4 hours away going at the speed of today's cars so it's impossible for them to transport him to that hospital within 2 hours. I have reason to believe that there was a branch of this hospital near the steal works plant and that there is some connection between the plant and the hospital. Does anyone have more information on this hopital and where it was located. The name of the plant could be The Lackawanna Iron and Steal Co. but the name on my records show The Lackawanna Steal Co. I found a reference to the hospital here: http://www.railfan.net/lists/erielack-digest/200608/msg00727.html But it still doesn't give me the location. Hope someone out there can help.
