A newspaper photograph of a tour of the new West Brookside Colliery Breaker in 1917, Tower City, Schuylkill Co., Pennsylvania. The photograph appeared in the West Schuylkill Herald on 1 March 1967 in a piece entitled, “Brookside Memories of the Past.”
The caption for the photo is:
The above photo of the latest breaker at West Brookside Colliery was taken more than 50 years ago when the men in the group were shown through it by the foreman, Abe Rissinger.
Upper Row, left to right: Harvey Rickert, school teacher; Roy Lebo; William King; Abe Rissinger.
Lower Row: Henry Lebo; William Bachman; C. M. Kaufman; Adolf Lang; William F. Knecht, publisher.
Of those shown, Adolf Lang is the only living member of the group [in 1967].
