A little known fact about the Cincinnati Mine Disaster that I find really interesting, Joseph Weaver, father of Mr Harold Weaver the longtime music teacher in Monongahela, was killed in the mine.

Is there a list of the dead available? I believe my great grandfather’s brother, William Warner, was killed in the explosion. His brother, my great grandfather John Joseph Warner, was killed in the Germania mine near Finleyville in 1899.
