MET AWFUL DEATH BENEATH
FALLING ROCK AND CLAY.
Edwin Hoare, a Well Known Citizen of Reynoldsville, Killed in Mine
x at Catfish, Pa., Friday and Brought Here for Burial.
Was Prominent in Politics and Civic Societies.
Startling, Indeed, was the announce
ment Saturday morning, October 3,
1!H)3, that Edwin Hoare, who had been
an honored and highly esteemed citizen
ol Reynoldsville sixteen years, had boon
suddenly killed In a coal ml no near
Catfish, along the Allegheny river,
Friday afternoon. The awful news was
a great shock to Mr. Hoare's wife and
children. Tltlablo, beyond description,
was their grief. Only those who have
experienced like sorrow can have any
conception of what the news meant to
this bereaved family. The 15th ot last
June Mr. Hoare went to Catfish to
Mr. Hoare's dead body was taken out.
The two mon were so close together
that Mr. Henry folt Mr. Hoare's body
quiver In the death struggle, but he
was powerless to help him. The body
was brought to Roynoldsvllln on the
0.15 p. m. train Saturday and taken to
Hughes & Poinroy's undertaking room
and at twelve o'clock Saturday night
was taken to the family home on Rail
road street.
Mr. Henry was not seriously injured,
but he received a shock that It will
require few days to recover from.
Edwin Hoaro was born In Cornwall,
accept the position as mine boss for the
Keystone Coal Mining Company. He
had made all arrangements to move his
family to Catfish next week, and was to
have oome to this place Saturday eve
ning to take his family to their now
home. Mrs. Hoare had the household
goods ready for shipment, but alas, the
Orim Monster Death Interfered with
their plans and the husband and father
was brought home in a casket Saturday
evening. Thore was to have boon a
birthday surprise party Saturday evo
nlng for George Tuckor, brother-in-law
of Mr. Hoare, and Mr. Hoare was
expeoted home In time to attend the
party, but the anticipated joyful occa
sion was turned Into an occasion of
overwhelming grief.
C. W. Swoope, who, with his father,
owns a store near the mine, came to
Roynoldsvlllo on the 0.50 p. m.. train
Friday to break the news as gently as
possible to the family and frionds of
Mr. Hoare. Mrs. noare was not In
formed of ber husband's death until
Saturday morning. From Mr. Swoope
we learned the following facts and
particulars concerning the accident in
which Mr. Hoare was killed and George
Honry, president of the Keystone Coal
Mining Co., mlrasulously escaped the
same fate that befell Mr. Hoare.
There Is a hill between tho tipple and
opening of the coal mine, and through
the hill the company run a tunnel, and
It was In the tunnel, wbloh curves
around, that the accident happened.
Mr. Henry and Mr. Hoare were riding
in the first car on a trip of ompty cars
and in going around tho curve lo the
tunnel the rope slipped off the pulleys
and jerked the front car olT the track
against , the props on side of tunnol.
The engineer noticed that the trip
seemed to pull heavy, but receiving no
signal and being unable to see what the
trouble was, he put on more power and
the oar tore down props and the roof
oaved in. Mr. Hoare was completely
burled In the car and was suffocated.
Mr. Henry was burled up to the nock,
but fortunately a piece of the top
timber fell over his head and kept the
dirt away enough to give him some air,
and he escaped suffocation. Willing
hands were soon at work, at risk of
their own lives, but it was almost an
hour before Mr. Henry was rescued
from bis perilous position, and it ' was
two hours and half after the accident,
which occurred about 12.50 p. m., before
England, Maroh 25, 1805, making blin
38 years, 6 months and 7 days old.
His parents both died when he was
quite young. ' In young manhood he
took a trip to Australia. Returning to
England for a short time ho thon sailed
for America, sixteen years ago, Royn
oldsvlllo being his objocttve point,
whore ho won friends and built for
himself an unblomlshed reputation.
December 24, 1889, he was married to
Miss Holon Dutson, who, with three
daughters and one son, survive the
doceasod. He was a devoted husband
and father. Was kind and loving with
his wlfo and children and his home life
was happy. He was a sober, industrious,
honost and respected citizen, and could
always bo relied upon to keep a promise
If possible. He was a Republican and
hud taken an active part in political
matters for a number of years, but even
in politics he was honest, which cannot
be said of every man who Is active In
politics. Ho was register In the 2nd
precinct of Reynoldsville borough three
years, was county committeeman a
number of times, and was one of the
delegates from Jefferson county to the
Republican State Convention in 1902
and 1003.
