100th anniversary of Locust Gap mine fire Shamokin News Item, PA
“When coal was king, the miner was its servant,” she noted. “These men risked their lives daily to mine the black diamonds to feed their families and fuel our nation. Communities took pride in their miners, but worried daily about the well-being of the men who worked deep below the earth’s surface. On May 5, 1904, the community’s worst fear was realized.
“One hundred years have passed, but the legacy of the miner lives on in our communities,” she added. “On the 100th anniversary of this terrible disaster, let us remember these men and the miners whose sweat and courage helped build our communities and our nation.”------------------------------------------- posted 6:38 AM :: reference link ::
