Cumberland Times, September 9, 1921
September 9, 1921	
Roof Fall Kills 19 year old Miner	
Frostburg, Md. Sept. 9,	Slate falling from the roof	
of the Cumberland Potomac Mine at Morristown caused	
the death of Charles Michaels, aged 19, son of Mr. & Mrs.	
Peter Michaels, Wellersburg, yesterday afternoon at 3:15 	
o'clock.	
 A number of miners were engaged with young Michaels	
in cutting coal with a machine when a portion of the roof 
gave way, a quantity of slate hitting him on the head
fracturing the skull. An ugly scalp wound resulted. Pulsation
was evident for twenty minutes before death without 
consciousness.
 Besides his parents young Michaels is survived by three
brothers and seven sisters.
He was a member of the St. Patrick's Catholic Church at
Mt. Savage and was one of the most popular young men in
the Wellersburg section. He had been working but three	
weeks for the Cumberland Potomac Coal Company.
