Nineteenth Annual Report of the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1900
February 3, 1900, Thomas Evans, aged 53 years, married, was killed by a premature 
blast in a room of the Lincoln Coal Company’s mine. He had fired two shots before 
the one that killed him, and had returned and lit the third one, which was on the 
far side of the room and a considerable distance from the road leading to the 
entry, and in going out he got bewildered in the smoke and did not get far enough 
away to avoid being struck by flying coal, killing him instantly. He was of Welsh 
birth, and left a widow and three children dependent. He resided in Lincoln.
