I am interested in finding out anything you can tell me about a mine explosion that took place at Emaus, in Lehigh County that took the lives of eleven men on June 21, 1879. My husbands g-grandfather died on his 53 birthday in this explosion and try as I may I have not been able to find anything on this. Any direction you can give me would be deeply appreciated. Would there be newspaper articles from that time or even books that would talk about this? Thank you so much. Please write me direct so I don't miss an answer. Clueless@iu.net
