On Sunday, November 17, 1940 tragedy struck at the Gano Coal Mine in Vienna Township. Forty-nine year old Albert Bajorek a coal miner from Buffalo Ohio, was installing a pump deep in the mine shaft. Albert was at the 114 foot level when the two-way lift cage descended crushing him to death. The photo below shows the Gano Coal Mine after the accident in 1941. The mine has since been filled in and is marked with a concrete and steel bollard marking its former location.
