1903 Lilly, Pennsylvania coal mine disaster...



Item # 675933

November 21, 1903

THE EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, Nov. 21, 1903

* Lilly, Cambria County, Pennsylvania
* Coal mine bunk house fire disaster


The top of the front page has a three column headline: "TWENTY-SEVEN MEN BURNED TO A CRISP" with subhead. (see) Surprisingly this issue is in good condition being from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in paper.
Complete with 6 pages, small library stamps within the masthead, generally nice.
