Phillip was one of the miners who was killed in the Sunday Creek Coal Company Mine #6 Explosion, 5 November, 1930, in Millfield, Athens County, Ohio at 12:30 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.

441. In October, 2007, my youngest brother, sent me a large box of Letters, Postcards, Photographs, and Diaries that were from my Grandfather’s (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.
