Erb, Jonathan
(Miner, ca.1890, Maher Mine, Indiana Co., PA, Age 42, married, 8 children.);
(Killed. Mr. Erb was instantly killed by a fall of roof slate, in the Maher Mine, December 12, 1890. He was cutting over into a room rib preparatory to drawing it out, and although he had not cut through into the next room he had excavated the coal seam to such an extent that there was an open space (including the width of the roadway) of about 12 x 14 feet, and he had neglected to set a single prop to sustain the roof. The roof where Mr. Erb was working was badly fractured, owing to the place being near the crop line, consequently he ought to have known the dangerous condition of the roof with such an open space and should have protected himself by setting props to it.)
