Johnston, Richard B.
(Miner, Fireman ca.1892, Sandy Creek Mine, Allegheny Co., PA, Age 42, married,

(Killed. John Shaffer and Richard Johnston were smothered in the tunnel
as they were hauling a trip of coal out with the locomotive. This was
their last trip for the evening, and Mr. Fisher, the superintendent, stated
that it was their custom to leave the fire go down low about the last trip
so as to make it easy for them to take it out; they had only
got into the tunnel about one-eight of a mile when they stuck on a small
grade; here it was supposed that they commenced to throw fresh coal on the
fire and the smoke and carbonic oxide from the fire smothered them, in the
Sandy Creek Mine, Oct. 6, 1892. Why they did not cut loose from the
trip and go out no one was able to answer; they had been on the locomotive
for years and should have known better than to have remained in the smoke.)
