The Fulton County News. (McConnellsburg, Pa.) September 28, 1899
Boy Killed and Girl Seriously Injured Near Greensburg.
Greensburg, Pa., (Special.) 
George Keck, a miner, of Gracetown, set a can of powder behind his kitchen stove
after returning from work. His two children, a girl, aged 5, and boy, aged 7, were
in the room, and the boy dropped a match into the can. There was a terrible
explosion, and both children were frightfully mangled and burned. The boy died a few
hours later, and the girl is probably fatally hurt.
