Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, April 29, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 18 Killed in Arizona James Callahan, superintendent of the South Fork Coal Mining Company’s operations has received word of the death of his son, Alexander, at Bisbee, Arizona, as the result of injuries received in an accident which is believed to have occurred in a mine. On Sunday morning, Mr. Callahan received a telegram from another son, John C., who is in Arizona, saying that Alexander had been very badly injured and in the evening there came another dispatch stating that he was dead. Mr. Callahan at once telegraphed back directions to do what was deemed best in the matter of burial and forward as soon as possible a letter giving details. Alexander Callahan was twenty-nine years old and was well known among the miners of Cambria County, he having been employed at Ehrenfeld and Gallitzin. Three years ago he went to Arizona, first finding employment in a warehouse but later going into one of the Greene Consolidated Copper Company mines at Bisbee. Alexander Callahan was one of a family of eight brothers and three sisters. One brother as noted is in Arizona, the remaining six living at South Fork. Of the three sisters, one is Sister Bonaventure of the Order of St. Joseph of Columbus, O., and another is married and lives at Ehrenfeld and the third is at South Fork. Young Man Found Dead James Williams of South Fork Meets with Fatal Accident. Lifeless Body Found Floating in the Conemaugh River While walking along the south fork of the Conemaugh at a point about a mile north of South Fork on Tuesday, William Brain discovered the dead body of a man lying face upward in the stream. Without waiting to investigate, Mr. Brain returned to South Fork and notified George Brothers, the undertakers, who had the remains removed to their establishment. Investigation revealed the fact that they were those of James Williams, aged twenty-four, a miner of South Fork. How he came to his strange end is still a mystery. Williams was last seen alive about 3:30 Monday afternoon. When found the body was lying near the bank of the stream, face upward and with nothing but the head and feet showing above the water. From all appearances it had floated some distance down stream before lodging between two large boulders which prevented its drifting further. All these circumstances would lead to the conclusion that the young man had come to his death by accidentally falling into the creek, if it were not that the situation was complicated by the existence of two large cuts on the back of his head. Judging by appearances these might have been caused either by some blunt instrument or by a backward fall upon the rocks which line the banks of South Fork. The dead man was a son of Constable James Williams of South Fork and made his home with his parents. He was unmarried. _________________________________________________________________ You live life beyond your PC. So now Windows goes beyond your PC. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/115298556/direct/01/
