Fifteenth Annual Report of the State Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1896
March 3, 1896, Mark Noon, miner, aged 40 years, employed by the C., W. & V. Coal 
Company in their No. 1 mine, at Heenanville, was fatally injured by a fall of 
coal. He and his brother were engaged withdrawing the pillar between Nos. 4 and 
5 room in the fourth southeast entry about 10 a. m. They fired a blast in the 
bottom coal which cleared it from under the top coal for a distance of seven 
feet along the pillar and four feet under. They then went back out of the room 
to eat their lunch, and ten minutes later they went back to see how the blast 
had done. The deceased, without saying anything to his brother, took a pick and 
went under the top coal and started to under-cut a point next the old room; the 
coal, being loose on both ends, suddenly rolled over and pushed him against a 
loaded pit car which was standing close up to the coal. He received internal 
injuries from which he died four hours after. He left a widow and five children.
