    1. [OBITL] Austin, Potter, PA

    3. I am looking for an obituary — and possibly a news story — concerning a young lad (13-15 years old) who was killed by a train in the yard at the Bayless Pulp and Paper Mill in Austin, Pennsylvania around July 11, 1918. The boy's name has been given as Stanley Dumosky. It might be spelled any number of ways, i.e., Dumuhosky, Dmuchowski. My belief is that he was born in Austin in late 1902 or early 1903 and therefore would have been about 15 when he was killed, however various reports might list his age younger. The story was apparently carried in many newspapers in both Pennsylvania and New York at that time of the incident. An obituary probably would have been local to Austin, PA only. Also, this boy's father, John Dmuchowski (often spelled Dumuhosky) was killed in the Sept. 20, 1911 Austin Dam Flood. I don't think an obituary was ever published because his body was one of those that was never found. But if someone could check on this as well as his son, Stanley, I would appreciate the effort. Thanks!
