UNDER FALL OF COAL
Anthony Clupp of the “Pine Hill” Mine Meets a Most Horrible Death
While at work at the George’s Creek Coal and Iron Company of Lonaconing yesterday morning, Mr. Anthony Clupp, a veteran miner, met a most horrible death, as was briefly told in yesterday’s Times. He was engaged in wedging a ledge of coal when a premature fall of roof coal fell and buried him and nearly filled the entire room. As soon as the other men at work discovered the accident, they at once began to remove the debris, but it was several hours before the body was unearthed, and then only to be a mass of mangled remains. Mr. Clupp was a miner of great experience, sixty-two years of age; he has lived in Lonaconing about thirty years and was greatly respected. He leaves a family of a wife, three daughters and five sons. The funeral took place this afternoon.
