Miner’s First Name: Josef Miner’s Middle Name: Miner’s Last Name: Goman Miner’s Picture: Birth Place of Miner: Miner’s Country: Austria-Hungary Arrived in USA: Miner Information: Joseph was blinded at the age of 9 or 10, while still living in Austria-Hungary. He and a friend were playing 'swords' with broken tree branches, and the other child ran a branch through Joseph's left eye. When the child pulled the branch out, Joseph's eye came with it. Due to lack of medical care at that time, Joseph nearly died of a fever following that tragic accident. Joseph came to the USA with his Father, John Goman, who died in 1901. As were so many marriages at that time, Joseph's marriage in this country was 'arranged'. He was Naturalized as an American citizen on January 7, 1920. He was listed as 5'8" tall, with dark hair and gray eyes. My mother told me he was not able to work underground in the mines. Physical? Psychological? We have no idea. According to his death certificate, Joseph was a laborer in the Coal Companies. He died as a result of a 10-year duration of Anthro-silicosis.
