Steam Engine Crash - Three Crushed to Death - 1920

Reader Tom Leslie sent in this interesting and tragic story of the death of his grandfather who was killed in 1920 - when two steam engines in Bethlehem Steel Gautier Works crashed head on. The picture above - shows his mother standing by the tombstone of her father - Hetrick Miller from Morrellville who was 23 years old. Tom still has his grandfathers pocket watch that was in his pocket at the time of the accident along with his sun glasses. I cut the clippings in half - to make them easier for you to read.

I broke up the two newspaper clippings to make it easier for you to read.
