Description : On Thursday (11 Nov 1875), William Dawson, 16 years of age, a repair hand on the C&P RR, received injuries at the hands of another laborer, Joseph Michaels, that resulted in his death.

They were working unloading an express car of tools at a spot between Midland and Lonaconing. As Michaels threw out a "claw bar", Dawson passed by the car door and was stricken and fell to the ground. His head was fractured and he was attended by Dr Price, but the injuries were too much and he died the following morning.
