About Joseph Coppo
Last Saturday, an Italian trench worker named Coppo was taken to his final resting place. He was crushed by rocks last Wednesday in the Hecla ditch and died the following day. The deceased had to suffer a lot of resistance after coming to this country. First he hurt his hand, which prevented him from working for a long time, then he sprained his back, which caused him to be in bed for a long time and was only able to work on Monday, and now he was hit by a rock, which finally ended his laborious life.
