Biographical / Historical

Stanislas Kozaczek worked in the cloth washing room in the New York Mills, in the village of New York Mills, Oneida County, New York. One day, when he had been working in the mills for about four weeks, he was trying to put a belt on a pulley when his apron got tangled in the belt and he was killed. The New York Mills reached a settlement with his widow in which the company was absolved of any claims against it.
