Miami Record Herald · Oct 12 1917
Leonard Lester, a miner, about 30 years old, fell down a shaft at the Woodchuck Mine Sunday and was instantly killed. Leonard was on the first level, it seems, where a shot had been fired. He was walking toward the shaft when he stumbled and fell to the second level, a distance of 60 feet. The Woodchuck Mine is located near Tar River, where Leonard had been employed for some time. He lived at Tar River Oklahoma [later now Cardin Oklahoma].
