Nineteenth Annual Report of the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1900
December 11, 1899, Jacob Osam, of Bloomington, was killed by being caught in the 
machinery of the revolving screen. It has never been fully determined just how the 
accident happened, as no one was present at the time, and nothing was known until 
one of the top men heard him shout to stop the engine that causes the screen to 
revolve, which was done at once, but before anyone reached him he was dead. It is 
presumed that he was up there for the purpose of oiling some part of the machinery 
when he met his death. The accident happened at the mine of the McLean County Coal 
Co. He left a widow and three small children dependent.
