Cross, Thomas

MINE SUPERINTENDENT DEAD, Thomas Cross, a former superintendent of the Boswell 
operations of the United Coal Company, died on Tuesday at Beatty, near 
Greensburg, of acute tuberculosis from which he had suffered the past four 
months. After having left Boswell a little more than two years ago, Mr. Cross 
with his family moved to West Virginia where he followed mining for a time, 
later going to Beatty where he was superintendent of extensive coal operations 
up until his death. As a mining official he was regarded as being far above 
average, and his kind and considerate ways of handling men made him a favorite 
wherever he worked. His wife and five children survive.

Meyersdale Commercial, Apr. 29, 1915
