LEOMINSTER DAILY ENTERPRISE, Massachusetts, May 29, 1925
* Coal Glen mine explosion disaster (1st report)
This 8 page newspaper has a two column headline on the front page: "BODIES OF 32 MINE VICTIMS ARE RECOVERED FOLLOWING EXPLOSION". Tells of the Coal Glen North Carolina mine disaster.
Other news of the day. Little browning with minor margin wear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.
wikipedia notes: The Coal Glen Mine Disaster was a coal mine explosion that occurred in May 27, 1925, in Coal Glen, North Carolina, USA. Fifty three miners died. Attempts at re-opening the mine were made sporadically until the 1950s, but were never financially viable. The mine was permanently closed in 1951.
