EXPLOSION IN ROBENA COAL
MINE ENTOMBS 37 EMPLOYES
47 Others Flee to Safety
From Frosty Run Shaft;
Hope Fading for Trapped
By W. KIRK VOGELEY
United Press International
CARMICHAELS, Pa. (UPI)— Weary rescue workers battled against time today in an effort to reach 37 men trapped 680 feet below the earth’s surface by an explosion in the Frosty Run shaft of a U.S. Steel Corp. coal mine. Rescuers pushed to within 5,500 feet of an area where the men were believed trapped. At that point, progress was halted as a horizontal shaft was sealed off to permit further advance.
Officials said there was a slim chance the miners had reached a safe area and survived the methane gas explosion and a fire which apparently followed. But no word had been received from the trapped men since the blast. The blast occurred at 1 p.m., EST, Thursday in the Frosty Run shaft of the Robena No. 3 mine owned and operated by the United States Steel Corp. Eighty-three men were in the mine at the time. Forty-seven fled to safety.
At 4:30 a.m. EST today, a U.S. Steel spokesman said rescue teams had worked their way to within about 5,500 feet of where the men were believed trapped. The blast area was about 680 feet underground and between three and four miles from the mouth of the shaft.
Anniversary Of Disaster
Thursday was the 55th anniversary of the worst mine disaster on record in the United States—one which killed 361 men, Dec. 6, 1907, at Monongah, W. Va. James B. Girod, assistant general superintendent of the Robena Mine, said it was “difficult to say” whether there could be any hope the missing miners were alive. Girod said that two assistant mine foremen who were among the missing men were “crack rescue men…if there were any chance, those two would have accomplished something.”
Among the missing was 18-year-0ld, Albert F. Bronakoski of Bobtown, Pa., a U.S. Steel student-trainee under a five-year engineering program operated jointly with Pennsylvania State University. Pennsylvania state Mines Secretary Lewis Evans said the explosion was caused “either by methane gas and dust or methane gas alone.”
Workers Encounter Fumes
The rescue workers, operating in relays of three eight-man teams, encountered traces of carbon monoxide fumes, indicating fire, and small amounts of methane gas which Girod described as “below the safety level.” The rescue workers had to dig through rubble from rock falls and timber cave-ins. As they went along they shored up the walls and roof of the shaft and set up power lines to operate the ventilating system.
At midnight, Girod said it would be a “great many hours” before the rescue workers would reach the blast area. Weather conditions at the site were bad. Strong winds whipped a steady snowfall hampering the movement of emergency supplies to the site. State police reported many trailers jackknifed along the main arteries leading to this soft coal mining area in southwestern Pennsylvania about 40 miles south of Pittsburgh.
Families Wait At Shaft
Because of the bad weather the U.S. Steel Corp. at first asked the families of the trapped men not to go to the mine. But about eight hours after the accident the company began calling the families to tell them they could go to the site. The families waited in a large corrugated structure which along one side houses the elevator leading down into the Frosty Run shaft. They were mostly silent. There was no weeping.
Girod said that workers in the corrugated structure got their first indication that something was wrong at 1 p.m., EST, Thursday when the ventilator fan in the Frosty Run shaft stopped operating. Shortly after that miners came rushing out of the shaft. Some of those who escaped said they were working about two miles from the blast area. Some said they heard a “thud,” some felt a rush of air. Some said the blast waves knocked their helmets off their heads. The Robena No. 3 mine, together with its sister mines, Robena No. 1 and Robena No. 2, form a vast spider web of shafts under 69,000 acres in Greene and Fayette counties. They are called “captive mines’—workings which are owned and operated by steel companies to provide soft coal for their mills. The Robena mines serve U.S. Steel’s mills in the Pittsburgh area.
The state mine rescue truck, and state and federal mine inspectors were on the scene, United Mine Workers leaders, led by William J. Hynes, veteran president of UMW District 4, stood by. One of the UMW leaders was Alfred (Fricky) Cavalcante. His cousin, “Biz” Cavalcante of Masontown, was one of the trapped men. Twenty of the 44 miners who escaped unhurt joined the rescue workers.
Frick District General Supt. Ralph C. Beerbower was at one of the other Robena mines when the disaster happened. He immediately entered the Frosty Run shaft and was still there after 10 p.m. Jesse Core, U. S. Steel vice president for coal operations, came to the scene. Kenneth Hribal, a brother of one of the trapped foremen, explained that his brother is an expert in mine rescue work. He expressed the belief that there is some sort of escape route in the mine (through Secretary Evans wasn’t optimistic on this score). “If anybody can get them out, Jim can,” Hribal said.
Operations at the Robena 1, 2, and 3 Mines—employing a total of 1,200 men—ceased immediately upon word of the explosion. All of the mines are inter-connected underground, with Frosty Run at the far southwest corner of the complex. The Frosty Run shaft is 628 feet deep, and the face where the blast occurred is more than three miles from the bottom of the shaft. There was a possibility that there actually were two blasts instead of one. The first intimation of disaster, said Frick District Asst. Gen. Supt. James B. Girod, came when the mine fan “went down.” It was put back on the line, and then ten minutes later it went out again. This time it was 45 minutes before the fan could be started and ventilation restored.
A cloud of dust boiled back down the haulage way from the disaster scene. Mines rescue crews, carrying self-containing breathing apparatus, immediately entered the mine. They were followed by other men restoring rails, cables and communications lines. There was no telephonic communication whatsoever from the trapped men.
Narrow roads leading to the mine drifted shut in many places as the snowstorm increased in intensity during the night. There were numerous skidding accidents. State Police hurried to the scene from the Waynesburg, Uniontown, Belle Vernon and Washington stations. Ambulances were sent from funeral homes—Yoney, Masontown, Dearth, New Salem, and Lucas, Carmichaels. Other ambulances throughout Fayette and Greene Counties were placed on standby alert. Secretary Evans said that the disaster had the appearance of being the worst in his eight years as head of the Mines Department.
Five years ago, in 1957, six men were killed at Marianna Mine in Washington County. And the explosion recalled the terrible 1928 disaster at Mather Mine—only a few miles to the north in Greene County. The explosion fell on the 55th anniversary of the worst mine disaster on record in the United States. That was at Monongah, W. Va., on Dec. 6, 1907, when 361 persons were killed. Robena Mines, scene of an explosion yesterday afternoon trapping 36 men underground, comprise the world’s largest mechanized coal mining operation. It is under a 69,000 acre tract in Greene County, 50 miles south of Pittsburgh, U. S. Steel Corp., the nation’s No. 1 steel maker, owns the mine.
Several years ago the mine was divided into three geographic sections known as Robena No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. Robena No. 3 is the southwestern section of the property. Pittsburgh seam coal from Robena is barged to U. S. Steel’s Clairton Works, near Pittsburgh, where it is processed into coke for blast furnaces. The mine has its own tipple cleaning and preparation plant on the Monongahela River. They are equipped with modern mechanized facilities. The Robena mine may be entered by a number of shafts all of which extend several hundred feet underground, The Frosty Mine shaft goes to a depth of about 525 feet. The point where the accident occurred is about 2 miles from the shaft at a depth of 650 feet. Approximately 1,200 are employed at the mines. Robena has produced as much as 20,000 tons of coal a day—enough to heat more than 2,000 homes for an entire winter.

John STARK died in 1903. His obit was contributed to the Fayette County USGenWeb

John Stark, aged 74 years, died Saturday, November 7, 1903, at 6 P.M. of paralysis.
He had been in his usual health all the week and had attended church each night.
He was at work saturday and received word that all of his 10 children would be
home to spend Thanksgiving. This so elated Mr. Stark that he told his wife and
they sent a boy to buy two turkeys. The boy left at 2 P.M. and when he returned

Little Mary was a sweet child, beloved by all who knew her. She seemed indeed too good for this earth, ever happy, she tried to make others so.

Just before she died she asked her mother to sing “Happy Lord.” Her mother commenced, when Mary took up the hymn, and sang two stanzas, as she closed the last, her lovely spirit was wafted to that land far, far away. Fond parents, weep not for her, she knew no fear. She had tasted heaven, e’en while she lingered here. Oh happy child – may we like thee be blest; In life be faithful, and in death end rest. J. P. B.

FUNERAL RITES
FOR A. J. STENTZ
ON WEDNESDAY
Services For Widely Known,
Prominent Citizen To Be Held
In Afternoon At 2:30
BURIAL AT OAK GROVE
Funeral rites for Alvin J. Stentz will be solemnized Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock in the family residence, 43 East Berkeley street, Rev. E. Conn Pires, D. D., pastor of the Third Presbyterian church, will officiate. Burial will be in Oak Grove cemetery. Mr. Stentz is to be buried on the anniversary date of his birth 78 years ago. The following pallbearers were selected by Mr. Stentz: Honorary; Judges E. H. Reppert, Thomas H. Hudson, H. S. Rumbauld, R. E. Umbel, D. W. Henderson and S. John Morrow. Active pallbearers will include; D. W. Coldren, H. L. VanSwearingen, Howard Bauch, Guy Ross, Harry Brownfield and L. G. Chorpenning.
Highly respected and upright citizen of Uniontown for many years and once county commissioner, Alvin I. Stentz slept peacefully away Monday morning at 9:10 in the Uniontown Hospital. Ill for several months, Mr. Stentz bore his affliction stoically and faced death with the same fortitude as he had faced the problems of life. He knew that the end was near and he had no regrets. His life had been lived within the Christian faith. He had played the game of life fairly and squarely, with the end holding only everlasting peace and happiness. Mr. Stentz' condition became alarming about two weeks ago, and he was removed to the Uniontown hospital where on March 12 his left leg was amputated. He seemed improved and his legion of friends were happy. Then came a slow, slow sinking into what Mr. Stentz realized was a change to a better world. Without any signs of sorrow he selected his pallbearers and gave instructions for his funeral. No one knew more than he that he was going to the Great Reward for which he had shaped his entire life many, many years ago.
Mr. Stentz was born March 24, 1859, in Springhill township. Since his early boyhood he was affiliated with the Springhill Presbyterian church. He was married January 5, 1892, to Estella Lyons, daughter of John A. and Margaret Huhn Lyons with Rev. W. O. Wilson officiating. For 18 years, Mr. Stentz operated a sawmill in Springhill township and West Virginia. Staunch Republican all his life he became interested in politics. He was so influential that in 1901 he attracted the attention of J. V. Thompson and Frank M. Fuller, who persuaded him to become an aspirant for county auditor. He was elected. He so impressed the voters by his square dealings that at the end of his three years' service as auditor he was elected to two terms as county commissioner. During his tenure of office he continued to operate his farm, retiring when elected to succeed himself as commissioner. Then he moved to Uniontown and constructed the beautiful Stentz home in 42 East Berkeley street, where he lived at the time of his death.
In Uniontown, Mr. and Mrs. Stentz united with the Third Presbyterian church, under the pastorate of Rev. T. N. Thompson. Mr. Stentz served faithfully as trustee until he reached the age of 70 when he retired from active church duty. For years he had been a devout member of the John Knox Bible class and was also a member of the I. O. O. F. and Knights of Pythias.
Mr. Stentz is survived by the following children: Mrs. F. L. Ruble, Gans; Lloyd J. Stentz, of Detroit; Rose A., Mrs. Margaret Black, Lola and Leo, all at home. Two sisters, Miss Anna C. Stentz and Mrs. Philip L. Lyons and seven grandchildren, Glendell, Genevieve, Cyril and Fred Ruble, Alvin, Evelin and Virginia Stentz, also survive. One son, Roy A. preceded his father in death.

John D. Stephens, oldest son of Nathaniel Stephens, was born in Washington township, Fayette county, on the 2nd day of February, in the year of our Lord, 1800, and died at his residence in said township, on the 3d of December 1870, aged seventy years, two months and one day. In the month of April ’68, he was taken with what his physician called typhoid pneumonia - a disease from the effects of which he never entirely recovered; but after a lingering illness of about twenty months, he closed his eyes on all things earthy. His parents being religious, he was early instructed in the principles of the Gospel, but it was not until the 44th year of his age that he made a profession of a change of heart, and united with the M. E. Church. To those who visited him in his last hours he bore unequivocal testimony of trust in God, through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ. Brother Stephens was a good citizen, a kind husband, an indulgent father, a warm hearted friend, and an obliging neighbor. He leaves six children and an extended circle of friends to realize their loss, and to cherish his memory. R. Wakefield

Pastor Sterling Passes Away with Prayer on Lips.
Just as he had gathered his family about him for the usual blessing before the evening meal, the Rev. Andrew J. Sterling, retired Brethren clergyman, bent over slightly in his chair. Members of the family heard him utter the words, "Oh, God, Bless -" and then silence fell, as the minister, apparently in deeper supplication bowed lower. But when a minute had passed and no further sound was heard, Mrs. Sterling rushed to his assistance and found that the spirit had fled.
A week last Wednesday the pastor, who had been out of the active service for many years, suffered an attack of paralysis and the second attack Saturday evening at 6:15 o'clock provided fatal. The Rev. Mr. Sterling was married, but had no children. One brother, Buchanan Sterling, and three sisters, Mrs. S. F. Hogue, Mrs. George Honsaker and the Rev. Mary Sterling, survive. The deceased was a brother of the late Ephriam W. Sterling.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the late home. Owing to the Brethren conference now in session at Winona Lake there is some doubt yet as to who will be in charge, but in the event the pastor of the Brethren church cannot return home, another pastor of Masontown will be in charge.
The Rev. Sterling was born in Masontown in 1848 and except for the years in college and during his ministerial career, the deceased had always made his home in Masontown. The interment will be in the Sterling family plot in the Brethren church cemetery under the direction of Funeral Director Herbert A. Johnston.

the church, of which she was a devoted and honored member for more than sixty
years. On the banks of the beautiful Monongahela she and her brave and noble
husband lived happily together and fought gallantly the battles of life for over
half a century. Life's labors ended God has called his servants to their rewards
and to the union of that immortal wedlock that knows no partings in the imperishable
home of the just. Mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, highly favored, dearly
beloved farewell!
