There are quite a few listings for injured or killed mine workers. The information comes from the state of Pennsylvania. It is published in many volumes of books. It is not a list, nor do the employees of the Anthracite Museum do research for you. You are welcome, with an appointment to look at the books for the information you are seeking. <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~palackaw/news/history_mines.html#Mining">Lackawanna, PA, History & Mining</A> I also suggest looking at this webpage which describes the museum and it's purposes, and gives the address. <A HREF="http://www.paturnpike.com/traveler/winter96/page4.htm">History Corner - Anthracite Heritage Museum</A> Gayle Thorpe Baar Irving, Texas Researching: Colonial America: Backus, Baker, Bridge, Culver, Davis, Easton, Evans, Fairbanks, Fisher, Gay, Hall, Hughes, Lee, Payne, Pettebone, Read, Stephens, Swetland, Tiffany, Whitaker, Woodruff England: Gibbons, Morrell, Thorpe Ireland: Ladburner, Hutton, Ignew, Miller, Starkey, Scotland: Anderson, Arnott, Mackie, Watson Wales: Davies, Evans, Harris, Hughes, Jones, Williams, Lackawanna County, PA: Harris, Jones, Mackie, Morrell, Thorpe Luzerne County, PA: Gay, Hughes, Pettibone, Swetland

Greetings, Luzern County also has a pretty extensive list of mining accidents that were transcribed. It also includes parts of Lackawanna County. http://www.rootsweb.com/~paluzern/mines.htm Hope this helps !
