Lines 16-35 Blank ENUMERATOR'S REMARKS: I find there has been five men killed at New Castle during the past year - the coal is a pitching vein about 34 degrees after the coal has been mined if the miner is not very careful - the coal is liable to slide and and crush him to death. Robert Griffith & John Thomas and George Fulton were killed in that manner - Thomas Fitzgerald was killed by a piece of rock falling upon him - Cally Ramsey was working at what is called taken out the pillars that is after the miners finish taking out their rooms to the pillars between their rooms resume standing then ** taken down which is very dangerous work - the miner fastens himself with a rope about this time to keep from falling. Ramsey fell and and rolled down three hundred feet. ================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================ CENSUS-YEAR: 1880 STATE: WA Territory COUNTY: King TOWNSHIP/PRECINCT: Port Madison & Port Orchard ENUMERATOR: Joseph Comstock -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FILE ENUM FATHER's MOTHER's |Place family of deceased resided |Place where death occurred |TRANSCRIBER'S REMARKS PAGE PAGE LINE DIST FAM# LAST-NAME FIRST-NAME AGE SEX COLOR SINGLE MARRIED W/D BIRTH-PLACE BIRTH-PLACE BIRTH-PLACE OCCUPATION DIED CAUSE OF DEATH RESIDENT OTHER-PLACE PHYSICIAN'S-NAME |TOWN COUNTY STATE |TOWN COUNTY STATE | ================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================ 2 2 1 35 .
