Nineteenth Annual Report of the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1900
December 27, 1899, John Parker, blaster, aged 47 years, married, was instantly 
killed by a premature blast, in the Gardner & Wilmington Coal Company mine, Clark 
City, Kankakee county. Deceased and his partner lighted two shots, but only one of 
them exploded. After waiting a reasonable time for the powder smoke to clear away 
a little, deceased went back to fire the other shot. His partner was in the cross-
cut about eight feet from the face, holding a light, when the shot exploded, with 
the above result. Deceased leaves a widow and two children.
