Rolling Mill Mine Disaster of 10 Jul 1902, Johnstown, PA

On July 10, 1902, an explosion snuffed out 112 lives in underground coal facilities of the Cambria Steel Co. Opened in 1856, the Rolling Mill Mine supplied coal to the steel plant along the banks of the Conemaugh River. It had openings in the Westmont hillside and later in Millcreek Valley and elsewhere in the community.Two hillside entrances will be sealed in connection with the Roosevelt Boulevard Extension. They will be visible to passing motorists when the new road is opened.The portals are symbolic of an era of Johnstown's industrial growth -- an era when tragedy and violence and disasters are so frequent they almost became a way of life.-- By William Black, Johnstown Tribune-Democrat Staff Writer 10 Jul 1967 --
