p.m. in one of the worst coal mine disasters in Ohio:
Phil Powell age 47 born in Ohio; was the fire boss. He was the son of Phillip
and Elizabeth Maffin Powell. He was married to Alice Skiver and they had eight
children. Mrs. Floyd Wemmer, Mrs. John Cline of Millfield, Frances, Donald,
Phillip J., James, Willow, and Richard Lee at home. His father, mother and two
brothers preceded him in death. Left to mourn besides wife and children are
one brother George Powell of Cleveland, two sisters, Miss Emma Powell of Columbus
and Mrs. Henry Wanlers of St. Charles Michigan and many relatives and friends.
He was a member of the Christian church of Nelsonville. His funeral was held
at the Millfield Church of Christ and burial was made in Greenlawn. Burial services
were conducted at the grave by the Red Men, and Degree of Pocahontas Lodges
of which orders Mr. Powell was a member. "Evidence of a Struggle.
Mute evidence against a heart breaking struggle against death was discovered
in the case of Phil Powell, whose body was found against a brattice. With
a hatchet, Powell had cut a hole through the brattice not far from the new air
shaft. He was found with one leg through the hole. Had he
been able to crawl through the hole in the brattice he probably would have escaped
the poisonous black damp gas which claimed the lives of most of the victims,
experienced miners said."
"Eighty-two men lost their lives in the explosion of methane gas which
had accumulated and the disaster was caused by a short circuit between
the trolley wire and rail, according to a finding by the Athens County coroner,
L. F. Jones." (Harris History)
"Maximum death awards from Ohio's workman's compensation was $6,500 which
was also given to injured survivors. The state of Ohio fund also paid for the
funeral costs and burials of the men." (Athens Messenger)
Death's grim toll in the Sunday Creek Coal Company's No. 6 Mine explosion at
Millfield Wednesday noon reached 79 this morning as rescue workers, after toiling
incessantly 21 hours in gas filled tunnels, removed the last body from the scene
of Athens County's worse mine catastrophe. (Athens Messenger) Source (2007):

432. Mary E.s (SKIVER) name came from the 1928 City Directory of
Chillicothe, OH, page 253. This directory was made by R. L. Polk & Companies.
Marys address was listed as es Logan 3 s of Main.
441. In October, 2007, my youngest brother, sent me a large box of Letters,
Postcards, Photographs, and Diaries that were from my Grandfathers (Zenner
E. Taylor) trunk. Information, Names, Dates, and Addresses are from these Post
Cards (dated from 1905 to 1920) and Working B&O R.R. Diaries from 1910 thru.
1922.
451. In October, 2007, I received a letter from Arvilla (WEST) Wilson,
stating that her mother, Anna (SKIVER) West, always said to Arvilla that she
was born in 1903 instead of 1904 like the 1910 Census said. The census was taken
in Nelsonville, Athens Co., OH on the 15th of April, stating that Anna Skiver
was 6 years old at the time. Even the school district has down that Anna was
11 years old in the 1914-1915 school year. This was Nelsonville - York City
School, Route 1, 45764.
So, I have put down the 23rd of December, 1903. I will see if I can find a birth
record later.
