Nineteenth Annual Report of the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1900
December 21, 1899, William Pickett, aged 32, married, was killed by a fall of roof 
in the mine of Stansburys & Watkins, near Danville. He had just fired a shot and 
had returned to the face of the working place to set up some timbers which the 
shot had knocked out, and was engaged in that work when a large piece of soapstone 
fell on him, killing him instantly. He left a wife and three children dependent. 
Had deceased waited for the smoke to clear away he could, in all probability, have 
seen the danger and avoided it.
