This is from the McDonald, Washington Co., PA "Outlook" of Sept. 1, 1900. I thought that someone on this list might find it useful. Tom's Run (now spelled Thoms Run) was a small village on Thoms Run Rd. which is located near Bridgeville, Allegheny Co., about 6 miles from McDonald. Sad Closing of the Week A little group of men in their mining clothes standing in the still, hot sun in front of a house on East Coal street this Saturday morning at nine o' clock told the home of the victims of one of these deplorable mine accidents which have at some time in the past fifteen years cast a shadow over nearly every family in town. The sultry morning afforded not the faintest breeze to stir the window shades behind which were a man, only 28 years old, dead, and she who has been a widow only these two hours, and their two-year-old child. John TILLON came from Punxsutawney to Tom's Run, and from Tom's Run to this place three months ago. His new acquaintances here speak in the highest terms of him. He drove a trip of cars in Laurel Hill, and a little before 7 o'clock he went to work. At half-past seven, when a mile underground, the car he was riding on jumped the track, and he hit his head against the roof. He died while they were carrying him out. It was an accident that no one could have forecast, and no carefulness on his part could have averted it. Deceased was a Catholic in faith, and Rev. Father BRENNEN will conduct the services. Tomorrow evening at Noblestown will be the interment.
