He was killed in a coal mining accident.

Cumberland, Allegation, Cumberland, Maryland, Thursday, May 5, 1910, page 2, column 7

On Saturday night about 8:30 death came and ended the suffering of Mr. George Dawson, who has been suffering seven long weeks. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and five children, two sons, Albert and Walter and three daughters, Edna, Mary, and Ethel. The funeral was preached at the house Monday afternoon at two o'clock by the Rev. Perry, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church. The interment was made at Philos cemetery, Westernport. We all sympathized with the family in their sad bereavement.

Died of His Injuries
George Dawson, who with his son, was crushed by a fall of rock in the mine at Franklin several weeks ago, died at his home on Westernport Hill Saturday evening. Mr. Dawson was in a hospital, but was sent home about a week ago, his case being considered hopeless. The funeral took place on Tuesday. The deceased leaves his wife and five children. He was a native of Allegany county and a blacksmith by trade.

Mr. George Dawson, who was seriously hurt in Washing mine, No. 4, at Franklin mine, some time ago, is in acritical condition and is not expected to live. He was taken to the Cumberland hospital on the 12th of April in hopes that he would receive some treatment to help him, but when he was examined by some of the most prominent physicians of the hospital staff he was pronounced uncurable. As his spinal column is so badly bruised and his kidneys mashed. On account of his spine being bruised so badly it has affected his mind and at times very seriously. And as there were no hopes for him or any help at the hospital his wife brought him home to spend his last days with his family as death is expected at any moment. All feel very sorry for Mr. Dawson as he is a very fine man and liked by all who know him. His son, Albert, who was hurt at the same time, is able to work again.
