Friday, April 29, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 18 Killed in Arizona James Callahan, superintendent of the South Fork Coal Mining Company's operations has received word of the death of his son, Alexander, at Bisbee, Arizona, as the result of injuries received in an accident which is believed to have occurred in a mine. On Sunday morning, Mr. Callahan received a telegram from another son, John C., who is in Arizona, saying that Alexander had been very badly injured and in the evening there came another dispatch stating that he was dead. Mr. Callahan at once telegraphed back directions to do what was deemed best in the matter of burial and forward as soon as possible a letter giving details. Alexander Callahan was twenty-nine years old and was well known among the miners of Cambria County, he having been employed at Ehrenfeld and Gallitzin. Three years ago he went to Arizona, first finding employment in a warehouse but later going into one of the Greene Consolidated Copper Company mines at Bisbee. Alexander Callahan was one of a family of eight brothers and three sisters. One brother as noted is in Arizona, the remaining six living at South Fork. Of the three sisters, one is Sister Bonaventure of the Order of St. Joseph of Columbus, O., and another is married and lives at Ehrenfeld and the third is at South Fork.
