A Memorial to the Coal Miners that Worked the
Darr Mine

Following is a partial list of the miners, mine employees and company store employees that worked the Darr Mine, of Pittsburgh Coal Company, Van Meter, Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. After the 1907 disaster, the Darr Mine was reopened in 1910, an became another entry of the Banning No. 3 Mine, and the name Darr Mine was no longer used after the 1907 Darr Mine Disaster.
The miners names have been researched and complied from various sources by Raymond A. Washlaski, Historian: newspaper obits, newspaper accounts, Bureau of Mines Reports, township histories, names on the Darr Mine Relief Fund list, and names of miners submitted by various people.
The Nationalities listed for various miners, are taken directly from "Report of the Department of Mines of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, PA" as reported for the various years. Those listed as American, could be either native born or naturalized citizens. Most of the immigrate miners could not speak or write in English, so the spellings of their names could vary greatly, depending on who was writing the name down.

February 19, John Barnes, Slavonian Miner, was killed in Darr Mine by being crushed between moving mine cars and an entry pillar. He attempted to get out of a part of a detached trip in which he was riding. As the mine is a long distance in, it is customary to send the men into the mine in the morning in the dilly trip on a two per cent. grade. When the trip entered the pit mouth the first six mine cars became detached and started down the grade. The victim made an effort to get out and was caught as stated above. If he had stayed in the trip he would have been saved. It was claimed the trip was examined before being started into the mine.)

It was a butt shot and knocked the coal down before the slate, so in his haste to load the mine car he did not examine the slate to see if it was safe to work near it, and in taking this risk the slate fell with the above result. This man was in this country only about one year; he leaves a wife and two children in Austria.)
