Frazenbaker, Charles "Chas."
(American Miner, Pick Miner ca.1898, Valley Mine, Fayette Co., PA, Age 46,
married, 5 children.);
(Killed. Instantly killed by a fall of roof, in the Valley Mine,
July 2, 1898.);
(Charles Fazenbaker, American, miner, was instantly killed by a fall of slate
in Valley Mine on July 2, 1898. This happened on a rib, and intending
to draw out the posts to make a fall, he called the man who worked next to
him to come and help him. The man came immediately to his assistance
and his testumony was that having a small stump of coal he commenced to cut
it out, and the first stroke he gave the whole roof fell, covering him so
that it took four hours to get his body out. This looks strange for
a good practical miner not to see that the best support under this roof slate
four feet thick was the stump of coal, when he would knock out the posts
that were under it. The roof would have fallen in time enough and he
would have been away from under it, but it seems every one that draws ribs
like to see the roof fall before he leaves it, and a great many fatal accidents
have been caused by this method.);

In some manner the front mine car was thrown from the track and swinging
