From the Kansas City Star, August 13, 1920 Six persons were killed, four others are thought to have lost their lives and three were injured in a premature explosion at a limestone crusher at Pounding Mill, near here today. The explosion was caused by the ignition of a fuse by a spark from a drill, setting off three charges of dynamite which were being loaded for use the next day.
The known dead and injured were taken from the debris, but the bodies of four others are thought to be under the tons of rock which fell into the pit.
Deceased:
Joe Smith F. E. Myers John, Allen, and Edward Bird (brothers) Wash G. Lovern R. T. and C. G. McGhee (brothers) Jasper Jackson |
