I was about the suggest the same thing to Val since someone else died in the same hospital in May 1920. Anyway, Val, I suggest your Dr. Charles E. Long is the Deputy County Phy.(sician)probably acting as our present day title of Coroner. Suggest you ask local library for newspaper articles on accident. It would have made at least a filler item. Only question I noted was: Why date the burial permit October 30 when he died and was buried September 30? A simple clerical error or was he reburied somewhere? PolishDragon@att.net

Hi PD, Thanks for the site. Very Interesting. John was working for the Lackawanna Steel Co. when lightning hit the crane he was working on and he fell. Now I'll just try to find out just where the hospital was located. Deputy County Phys. Makes sense. I have the news articles already. It was interesting. A freak storm hit the area and three places where hit by lightning about 4 pm on Sept 27 1920. They were a water tank in the yard of M.J. Bernard Co., the belfry of the Public School at 42 Military Rd. (thankfully there was no one in the school at the time) and a switchbox on a telephone box at Broadway and Bailey. John was not hit by lightning but he fell from a crane because he missed his footing when surprised by a flash of lightning. I imagine the permit date was a clerical error because I have cemetery and funeral information that he was buried on Sept 30 and his body was never moved. It's great being able to talk about these things. It allows me to look at things in a different perspective and also add "Meat to the Bones" of my story, as they say.
