Nineteenth Annual Report of the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1900
April 9, 1900, Fred Conrad, aged 35 years, single, was killed in the Himrod Coal 
Company’s mine, by a fall of roof in side room No. 17, off of the southwest entry, 
at 12:15 p. m. He had fired a shot and wanted to return at once to work before the 
smoke had had time to clear away, but the parties working in the adjoining room 
told him it was too smoky to go in to work then, but he persisted and went in and 
commenced to mine off a standing shot of coal, when the roof suddenly gave way, 
falling squarely onto him, killing him instantly.
