Miner Information:
Mr. Joseph Holminski, arriving with his 5-year-old son from Poland, sought respect by wanting to be designated as Mister Holminski. He acquired the respect over the years, by supporting a family of ten as a miner for DL&W Railroad's coal division, DL&W Coal Co., and Glen Alden Coal Co. He raised his family in a company-owned Dwelling, #33, at that time valued at $25. He was one of many miners passing away from illness associated with Anthrosilicosis. He is buried in the town where he lived and contributed to the industrial growth and prosperity of the USA.
