Nineteenth Annual Report of the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1900
On July 2, 1895, at the Big Four Coal Company’s No. 2 mine, Coal City, Patrick 
Greening, a miner, aged 49 years, was instantly killed by a fall of coal in his 
room. The coal was mined under and sprags were set in front of it upon which the 
coal was resting. A prop was set about fifteen inches in front of the coal between 
the sprags. He proceeded to take down the coal by knocking out the first sprag, 
but the coal did not come down, so he reached past the prop and knocked out 
another sprag, upon which ithe coal fell suddenly, catching him between the coal 
and the prop, breaking his neck. He died instantly. Deceased left four children 
and a widow.
