"David J. Williams, inside superintendent of the Laurel Run colliery, who lost his life with night foreman William Morgan on Thursday, although only 33 years of age, was exceptionally well up in mines and mining. He was a self-made man and when working at Sugar Notch several years ago he would, after a hard day's toil, come to Wilkes-Barre to night school to study the subject of mining. After he became proficient he rose step by step until he became foreman, first at the Eagle colliery at Sugar Notch and later for the same company at Yatesville, and at the time of his death was inside superintendent of the Algonquin colliery. He was well liked and was an active worker in everything that tended to uplift mankind. He was a member of the Miner Welsh Congregational Church and on several evenings each week he taught a school of young men the science of mining. He was also an earnest worker in the church and Sunday school. His death will be a severe loss to the community at !
large.
"Deceased leaves his wife and two children. He is a brother of D.T.L. Llewellyn of Ashley. He was a native of Penrhyn, North Wales.
"The funeral will be held on Sunday at 2 p.m. The remains will be taken to the Miner Congregational Church, where the obsequies will be conducted by the pastor, Rev. Theophilus Davies, assisted by Rev. Dr. T.C. Edwards of Kingston. The interment will be at Hollenback Cemetery."

"Fire boss [William] Morgans was known to about every man, woman and child in the borough, and those who knew him best esteemed him the most. He was in the fullest meaning of the word a man.
