MINER IS KILLED SATURDAY WHEN CAUGHT BETWEEN CARS
At an inquest held Sunday afternoon at the city hall by Acting Coroner E.E. Johnson into the death of Stanley Thomas Lynch, 34, who was killed in the Peacock mine about 6:30 p.m. Saturday, a coroner’s jury returned a verdict that he came to his death while coupling cars in motion and was squeezed between two cars. It was the third mine fatality in the Rock Springs region this year.
The jury comprised by William Forsyth, John Jereb and Joe Galicich, reported, “We, the jury, after viewing the body and place of accident and hearing the evidence in the case, find that the said Stanley Lynch came to his death while coupling cars in motion, was squeezed between cars in the No. 3 seam of the Peacock mine of the Colony Coal company.” Witnesses examined were Dr. E.S. Lauzer, Frank Overy and James Tate.
Lynch was born July 18, 1907, in Cumberland, Wyo., and had resided in this community but three months and 27 days. He is survived by his wife, Jo Ann; five children, Mickey, 11, Jimmie, 7, Bobby, 4, Sharon, 2, and Jo Ann Arline, two months; two brothers, Richard of Palmer, Alaska, and James of Rock Springs; and several aunts, uncles and cousins of Rock Springs.
Funeral services will be held at 2 o’clock this afternoon at the Rogan chapel with the Rev. Keenan Sheldon officiating. Burial will be in the Mountain View cemetery with the Rogan mortuary in charge of arrangements.
