Tragic Mine Fatality in Sherrard Claims Thomas Haigh
Thomas Haigh died after being crushed between two empty and loaded coal cars at the Sherrard mine. He had been pushing cars to the loading area when the accident occurred, with internal injuries proving fatal about six hours later. A coroner's inquest found no one to blame. Haigh, married five months, was a member of five organizations and left a widow, parents, and siblings. Funeral services were arranged by the Odd Fellows with interment at Cable cemetery. Haigh had previously run a meat market in Coal Valley and planned to leave mining next week to start a new business.
