PennsylvaniaResearch.com will be home to alphabetical lists of victims of fatal accidents in both bituminous and anthracite mines in PA in the early 1900s.
The first list — just posted — includes victims of bituminous mine accidents for the year 1904. Other years (for both bituminous and anthracite mines) will soon be added.
Because all PA deaths after 1906 are filed at the state level and restricted to next-of-kin or legal representative, these lists offer an authoritative and valuable alternative to families seeking death dates of ancestors who died in pursuit of this dangerous occupation.
