I do have a little more information about these specific accidents. Source: 1890 Annual Report of the Inspections of Mines of the Anthracite & Bituminous Coal Regions of Pennsylvania Library Call No. TN805.04 A29, page 257 1890Aug20, Oliver Erdman, occupation car loader, Burnside colliery, Northumberland county, head injured and finger mashed; a brick fell from breaker and struck him on head, knocking him down between the cars by which his hand was caught and crushed. He missed at least 60 days of work. Large university and public libraries, the Pennsylvania Geological Survey Library, or the State Library of Pennsylvania may have the reference reports. The books are usually under library Call No. TN805.04 A29. These reports may also cover strikes, details of mining operations at specific mines, location of the mines, pictures, production and operation details for specific mines. See the web site below. In the State of Pennsylvania, the reports locations are listed on the web sites: http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/bmr/historicalminingreports/years/reports1873.htm but change the year of the report (1873 in the web site noted here) in place of the question marks. All of the anthracite Pennsylvania Department of Mines Inspector reports are posted on the web site (lower right side of web site): http://www.oldforgecoalmine.com/Anthracite Archives.html "Anthracite Archives - Old Forge Coal" However some of the later years, only have a partial posting. This is all the information that I have on this accident. >From Jerry, http://www.genealogy.com/users/s/h/e/Jerry-Sherard/ "Mine Accidents U.S., Canada and Australia" Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
