Friday, October 2, 1903 Hastings Miner Killed John McGilley, a miner in the employ of the Beech Creek Coal and Coke company at Hastings was so badly injured while at work in the mines Saturday morning that he died early Sunday morning. McGilley, with his son-in-law, was at work in a room. He was undermining a lot of coal. Both of the men working with him told him that he should prop the mass up, as it might fall and injure some one. McGilley, however, did not do this. While McGilley was standing directly under the rather loose mass, it fell. Before he died, the injured miner admitted that his misfortune was the result of his own carelessness. The dead man is survived by his wife and four children. The funeral took place Tuesday morning from the Hastings Catholic church. Interment was made in the Church cemetery.
