Gan Hong was a Chinese miner who was working at No. 6 mine the day of the 1901 disaster. The worst mining disaster Cumberland has seen, the entire mining shift that day was killed, including Gan. Unfortunately discrepancies in the recording of Chinese fatalities of the disaster have caused difficulties in identifying Chinese casualties, with names having been misspelled or mis-recorded.
