Peter Kohr, aged 24, of Green Point, Lebanon County, on Friday afternoon lost his life in a coal mine near Pinegrove. Kohr, with a number of other miners was engaged in the dangerous work known as “robbing pillars.” They had about completed the work of the day and were preparing to leave when there was a mass of material dropped from overhead, and all were entombed. Fellow miners rushed to the rescue, and after two hours of fast work exhumed the bodies. Of the party all were rescued alive but Kohr and a man named Klahr, of near Pinegrove.
Undertaker H.B. Strauss, of Jonestown, later secured the body of the Lebanon County man. He was not only popular in his home district, but at the mines as well, and his death attracted great sympathy. Besides his wife and a young son and daughter, he leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Kohr, of Green Point.
The deceased was a member of Moonshine Church. [Lebanon Daily News, Lebanon County, Pa., Monday March 31, 1924, page 8.]
