Immense Rock Crushes Miner

Beaverdale, Aug. 8 -- Thomas Harvey, a well known miner employed in No. 4 
mine of the Logan Coal Company, was instantly killed while at work about 
3:30 o'clock this afternoon when a huge rock weighing about three tons 
fell squarely upon him.  His skull was horribly crushed and nearly every 
bone in the upper portion of his body was broken. The accident occurred 
just after Mr. Harvey had dropped a loaded car into the switch and was 
engaged in cleaning the track. The father of the unfortunate miner was 
working with his son at the time of the accident.

Thomas Harvey was aged 30 years, 11 months and is survived by his widow 
and two children. He located in Beaverdale last fall, coming here from 
Barnesboro.  The body will be taken to that place where interment will 
take place Thursday beside the remains of his mother in the Barnesboro 
cemetery.  Mr. Harvey was very popular with his fellow workmen.
