  Name Suffix: Senior 1900 census, Centralia, David Conrad, Dec 1869,Matte, Aug 1870, M8, 4/4, George, Jan 1894, Blanche Jun 1895, James Nov 1896,Emily Feb 1899, laborer cemetery is also called IOOF cemetery in Centralia Info from Mine Inspector Report, Schuykill Co Historical Society David was killed on December 10, 1909, at the Centralia Colliery of the Lehigh ValleyCoal Company. He was married and left a widow and 6 orphans. He was employed as a "headman" at the colliery. The circumstances of his death were that he was under a "gunboat" (a large iron mine car which travels from the mine tothe top of the breaker with 10 tons of coal). He was oiling the wheels on thegunboat when suddenly it moved backward crushing him beneath it. The gunboatmoves up and down a slope or incline from the mine to the top of the breaker by means of a cable attached to an engine in an engine house some distance away. Apparently the hoisting engineer was unaware that David was under the gunboat and released the brake. (collected by Tom Dempsey)
