1913 New York Ontario & Western Railway $1000 Bond Certificate. Attractive Railroad bond issued to Carnegie Hero Fund Commission. Andrew Carnegie started the Carnegie Hero Fund in 1904 after a terrible coal mining accident in Pennsylvania claimed over 180 lives. Within three months of the disaster, Carnegie had set aside $5 million under the care of a commission to recognize &#34civilization&#39s heroes&#34 ...and to provide financial assistance for those disabled and the dependents of those killed helping others. In his words: &#34heroes and those dependent upon them should be freed from pecuniary cares resulting from their heroism.&#34 Brown ornate border with steaming locomotive vignette.
