Nineteenth Annual Report of the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1900
June 7, 1900, John Ryder, a driver, aged 28 years, married, leaves a widow and two 
children, was severely crushed about the head and body by being caught under a 
loaded pit-car, in the Devlin Coal Company’s shaft No. 2, (middle vein) Toluca, 
Marshall county. He died about two hours after the accident. Deceased was driving 
a mule, pulling a pit-car loaded with rock from the inside workings; when he 
reached the latches at the inner end of the shaft parting, the car took the wrong 
road, thinning into the empty track. It is supposed he jumped off of the car to 
stop it, and stumbled and fell, and that the mule pulled the car on top of him; he 
was under the car and unconscious when found.
