Fifteenth Annual Report of the State Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1896
Walter Russell, aged 18 years, single, occupation greaser, was suffocated by black 
damp at 7:15 a. m., at the mine of the Sangamon Coal Company, Springfield, 
Sangamon county. He left his work at the bottom of the shaft and went to the mouth 
of an old entry on the north side of the mine. As he did not return, one of the 
bottom men went after him and found him about eight feet in the entry. On 
inspection a light went out near the roof at about twelve feet and near the bottom 
at about eight feet in the entry.
