William Marion and Bailey Hall, young married men, both citizens of Henry County, lost their lives in the lead mine near Gratz, Wednesday, September 16, 1914, at noon by an explosion in the mine. The character of the explosion is not known to the writer, but it was probably a dust explosion. They had accepted employment at the mine only a few days before, we hear, and were working 500 feet below the surface. The hosue or shed over the mouth of the mine was burned, but whether it caught from the flames below, or caught fire in some other way and set off the gas or dust in the depths of the mine by dropping coals therein, cannot be stated with certainty. In fact, both hypotheses may be wrong.
Mr. Marion was a son of Clem Marion, of near Lockport, but living at Gratz. He is survived by a wife and four children.
The burial of Mr. Marion takes place at Gratz today. The interment of Mr. Hall will take place at Grub Ridge, tomorrow morning, Saturday.
