Notes:

Description: From page 354, Reports of the Inspectors of Mines of the Anthracite and Bituminous Coal Regions of Pennsylvania for the year 1890, Table IV, List of Fatal Accidents:

July 16, 1890 William Herrick(HETRICK), miner, 61 years old survived by a widow, no orphans surviving, Albion Colliery (English name for mine), Clarion County;
Mr. Hetrick was killed by a fall of coal, while working in a room with his son. He had mined the coal in his room to a depth of five feet and about fifteen feet across
the wall face and had fired a shot in it about one hour prior to the accident, but the powder having failed to do its work, he had what is known as a "hanging shot."
The hanging coal was left in a much shattered condition, and instead of using a little extra labor to make himself safe he deliberately lay down in front of it and
began to "bear-in."
He had just begun to mine, or undercut, the coal, when the loose mass fell, completely burying him. Such gross carelessness in any man is inexcusable.
