Fifteenth Annual Report of the State Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1896
December 28, 1895, John Larreck, aged 30 yearsr married, employed as- miner in 
James Cahill’s shaft at Peru, LaSalle county, was instantly killed by a fall of 
rock in his long-wall working face. The deceased was putting in props along the 
face of his room, his partner having gone home at half-past eleven. He was alone, 
and had put in props for a distance of fifteen feetr but at that point a slip was 
in the roof and he was in the act of putting a prop in and had struck it two blows 
with a sledge, when the prop sprung out from under the rock and suddenly a piece 
of it, weighing 3,000 pounds, fell and killed him. He was considered a careful 
miner. Left a widow and one child.
