On April 27, 1986, Wayne B. Tease accidentally fell into the abandoned 

Mary McKinney mine about 2.2 miles south of Cripple Creek. His body was 

located with a camera at the 880-foot level, but it was deemed too 

dangerous to recover. The mine was filled in and sealed with concrete. 

The following plaque was placed by his family near the entrance:



Here Lies

Our Beloved Son,

Brother, and Fianc‚

WAYNE B. TEASE

8-2-62    4-27-86

"REMEMBER ME"



The marker is on property owned by the Cripple Creek and Victor Gold 

Mining Company. The area is filled with old, dangerous mines and 

cannot be entered without the company's permission.
