Ashley Mine Disaster - 28 Men Dead
The gloomy day of May 16, 1890 will be recalled in years to come by the people of Ashley with a shudder. Early this morning the fate of the men buried in No. 4 slope, Lehigh & Wilkes-Barre Coal Co. became known. Twenty-eight men who entered the mine strong and healthful yesterday are now among the dead. It was not given them to die peacefully, surrounded by ministering friends and with the comforting words of the clergyman sounding in their ears. They were penned in the bowels of the earth and were smothered or burned to death by deadly gas. There are new vacancies now at firesides and the familiar form will no more enter the door of home after the day is over. The rescuers came upon the bodies of most of the victims at 8 o'clock this morning after many hours of work, three having been taken out last night. Slowly the remains were lifted and tenderly born out. The dead removed are:........Daniel Sullivan, married and six children........................
Another article had the number of children correct:
Daniel Sullivan, residence on Blackman Street, this city. A wife and nine children are in the family, with another one coming. The oldest boy is a cripple and the family is poor.
(Note: Believe the oldest boy to be Michael, who lived at home all his life and never married).
