| Prescott Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Tuesday, June 18, 1912, page 5, column 4 Miner Succumbs To Injuries At Tiger Boulder Falls on Chas. Batterly While At Work in Stope Telephone advices yesterday afternoon from Crown King brought the sad news that Charles Batterly (sic) , employed in the Old Tiger mine, had succumbed from injuries received while at work in a stope, a few hours after the accident. A large boulder fell on him, breaking his arms and legs, and internally injuring him. Immediately after meeting with the accident he was taken to Cron King for medical attention, but passed away in a short time. A special train was sent from this city to bring the remains for burial, and Undertaker Poulson, from H. M. Maus & Co., was sent to take charge of the body. The dead miner was about 40 years of age and had been employed at that mine for the past year. He was industrious and enjoyed a splendid name. No known relatives survive him. Transcriber's note: Mr. Battersly is buried in an unmarked grave at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona. |
