Subject: Lookups I promised:Reilley Mine Disaster
Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2005 12:52:53 -0400
I have been down at the Barnesboro Star looking for things people asked me to look up. My problem is I get distracted by other things in the newspapers.
I was looking at 1922 in the Star, and it had all the articles from the Reilley's Mine Disaster. It includes everything from the "official" writeup and reports of the investigation, to articles about many of the families who had multiple members killed. There are articles about funerals, donations, and even a letter from the Pope about the disaster. It is much too long to post here, but I can make copies for you, if you like. Some of my friends had grandparents and uncles who died there.
