WILLIAMS, ALBERT
(son of BENJAMIN and SARAH WILLIAMS)- (Continued)
the hospital.
After a trip of loaded coal cars had passed him in the mine, Williams started to renew his work of repairing the tracks. In some manner, the five rear cars of the trip broke away and descended back into the shaft, catching Williams before he knew what had happened.
His mangled body, with but little life in it, so badly was it crushed and broken, was brought out of the mine by Superintendent “Button” Thomas and sent to the hospital. Williams died a few minutes after arriving there.
Williams leaves a wife and several children. His body was taken to the funeral home of J.J. Durst, Frostburg.” [CET 8-8-1926, p. 1]
“Albert Williams, aged 51, of Zihlman, Md., who was fatally injured when struck by a trip of runaway cars which had broken loose from a motor in the Broken Heart Mines near here, last Saturday afternoon, was buried Tuesday afternoon at two o’clock. Burial was in Percy Cemetery.”
Mr. Williams was a member of Loyal Order of Moose, this city. Besides his widow, he leaves three children—William, Kenneth and Howard of Zihlman; three brother, Edward and Andrew of this city, and Frank of Baltimore.

“On August 7, 1926, Mr. Albert Williams, a laborer employed by the Annan and Jeffries Coal Company, was fatally injured by a runaway trip of empty mine cars while changing timbers in Union No. 1 Mine Cut-off to the Tyson Mine. Mr. Williams was working with Mr. George Myers, and they were taking out old timber and replacing it with new timber; an empty trip had passed them on its way to the Tyson Mine and thinking everything was all right they started to work. They were working near the outside and there is a very good curve in the track which made it hard to see the runaway cars until they were almost upon them. Six cars became uncoupled and caught the unfortunate man, causing injuries from which he died four hours later in the Miners’ Hospital in Frostburg, Maryland.” [Maryland Bureau of Mines Fourth Annual Report, 1926, pp. 22-23]
