Nineteenth Annual Report of the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1900
October 12, 1899, Isaac Evans, miner, aged 53 years, married, leaves a widow and 
one grandchild dependent, was killed instantly by a fall of roof at the face of 
his working room, in the Coal Valley Mining Company’s mine, No. 2, Sherrard, 
Mercer county. The rock that fell on deceased was about twenty feet long, nearly 
the width of the room, three and one-half feet wide, and nine inches thick at the 
thickest part, tapering to a feather edge at the outside. Deceased was in the act 
of wedging down some top-coal when the mass of rock fell; it broke close off at 
the coal face. A son of deceased was working with him at the time of the accident, 
and had his foot slightly injured by the same fall.
