Thomas Pugh

Tom Pugh, fifteen years old, did not lose his head in the terrible hour. When he heard the detonation he seized his hat in his teeth and kept his nostrils covered while he ran through the tunnel. He was in as far as the fifth raise which is about a mile and a half from the entrance, but he reached the outside in safety while his father, with whom he was working, perished.

All To Widows And Orphans

While discussit)<jf the circumstance.s of the 200 families whose bread-winners were killed in the coal mine disaster, cog^nizance was taken of the conditions relating' to the seven miners who were seriously injured. Inasmuch as all of the injured ones were cared for at the hospital at the Pleasant Valley Coal Company's expense, and also that none of the men will lose any of their wages during- the time they have been incapacitated from work, it was the opinion of the central committee at j'esterday afternoon's meeting in the Governor's office that what would otherwise be the proportion of the injured men should be given to the dependent widows and orphans.

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 3,215 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 48 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest.
