Anthracite Heritage Foundation, Kings College, Carnegie Hero Fund Commission To Recognize 40 Anthracite Miners Awarded Carnegie Hero Medals On June 27 In Wilkes-Barre

The Anthracite Heritage Foundation, Kings College and the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission will honor the forty anthracite miners who have been recognized with Carnegie Hero Medals over the years with a monument in the  Miners Memorial Park across from the west side of Public Square in Wilkes-Barre on June 27.

Andrew Carnegie, the Scottish immigrant, industrialist and philanthropist, established the Carnegie Heroes Fund Commission in 1905 in Pittsburgh.  His motive was to award the Carnegie Medal to individuals who had engaged in extraordinary acts of courage.

Over 10,000 medals have since been conferred on persons from throughout the U.S. and Canada. Forty of them have been bestowed on persons whose heroism occurred within the anthracite coal industry of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

The list of 40 miners includes the late miner Amadeo Pancotti of Pittston, hero of the Knox Mine Disaster of 1959.

The Program

The dedication program will take place in the auditorium of The Alley Center at King’s College on Public Square in downtown Wilkes-Barre at 1:00 p.m., followed by the monument’s unveiling and blessing in The Miners Park at the front of The Alley Center.

The program speakers will include Fr. Thomas Looney, President of King’s College; George Brown Mayor of Wilkes-Barre; Jewels Phraner of the Carnegie Heroes Commission; Thomas Lowther Bell, great grandson of John Tennant Brown, who was awarded the Carnegie Medal for saving four men after an explosion on January 10, 1911, at Hoyt Shaft, near Pittston; and Professor Robert P. Wolensky of the AHF and King’s College. 

Tony Brooks of the AHF and the Wilkes-Barre Preservation Society will serve as the Master of Ceremonies.
