Sullivan, Charles

Sullivan was injured last night about 10 by a cave-in at the Turkey Fat Mine at Hattenville Oklahoma [now Commerce]. The ground had been giving way all day yesterday and he had gone in the shaft to put in the cribbing last night and while working the ground gave way and covered him up. He was dug out in about three hours afterward. When examined by the doctors he was found to have both legs broken and several minor injuries.

Sullivan, the man who got his legs crushed last Tuesday night in a cave-in at the Turkey Fat Mine at Hattenville Oklahoma, is reported to have lock-jaw and is still unconscious.

Sullivan was brought home Tuesday night and seemed to be doing nicely until sometime Wednesday when he relapsed into unconsciousness due, the doctors said, to the shock from which he never rallied. The body will be taken to Carterville Missouri for burial.

Charles Sullivan died Aug 9th in mining accident.
