Duffy Cut Mass Murder or Cholera outbreak

That’s a moving story.

“Official record of the deaths at Duffy's Cut, remained locked in the vaults of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) until Joseph Tripican, a secretary to a former PRR president removed them after the company's bankruptcy in 1970. In the 1990s, one of Tripican's grandsons, Frank Watson discovered the papers in a file, and began with fellow historians William Watson, John Ahtes and Earl Schandelemeier to research the history. The state historical marker, dedicated in 2004, memorializes the fifty-seven Irish workers who died at Duffy's Cut in August of 1832, and the labors and sacrifices of the immigrants who helped build the railroads in Pennsylvania.”

Erica,
Found out there was women there and one got sent back to Thyrone Ireland for burial. Well I think this case way more complicated and true story may not be told but archeology sure put kinker in history here.

Ok I made a project for them but I not sure how to title right. Because may be some controversy on the cover up and why they truly died. So if anyone has suggestions I in for it.

I think it’s a good title.

Well much more to story. I iffy where to put it. If this one was ever detective story nothing is. Asking Irish porthole see If any Ireland Records were ever found. I think some were. I might need to look on my family see if any Coleria deaths now I know was outbreak in area though.
