A Background
The product of anthracite coal which fueled our nation's industry and heated its homes, especially in the 18th Century, was produced by miners working in dangerous conditions, many who gave their lives or suffered an on-the-job injury. Dr. Matthew Shields, who lived in Jermyn, PA, with an active anthracite colliery, had an idea to help. The Pennsylvania Historical Plaque reads:
"First Aid Pioneer Here in 1899, Dr. Matthew Shields organized first aid for mine workers, from it grew the plan of Red Cross industrial first aid, which he helped establish. Dr. Shields died in Scranton, January 23, 1939.
