Fifteenth Annual Report of the State Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1896
Allison Westbrook, aged 33 years, single, occupation eager, was killed at 4:20 p. 
m., July 19, 1895, at the mine of the Taylorville Coal Company, Taylorville, 
Christian county. The cager on the opposite side of the shaft was pushing a loaded 
car to the cage, when the corner of the car struck the upright corner rod of the 
cage. Westbrook immediately stepped on the cage and was pushing the car back, 
when, without any signal from the bottom, the cage started up, taking Mr. 
Westbrook with it, crushing him against the crown timber, causing instant death.
