Martin Bollinger - Killed by Explosion - Smeltzer Quarry
Doing some work on my family and came up with a little news clip that might be of interest to someone on this forum.In the March 9, 1899 Harrisburg (PA) Patriot, page 8, column 1 I find the following note:
"Blown to Fragments - News was received in this city last night of the death of Monroe Bollinger, of Lebanon County.Bollinger was blown to fragments by a premature explosion at Smeltzer's quarries.He was well known in this city and has relatives here."
