Lashley, Melvin P. - 1888
Lashley, Melvin P., Pumper
May 17, 1888, 5th District, Leisenring No. 3, Fayette County.
He had gone down to oil the pumps in the shaft, and had been down a sufficient time to do all he intended doing, and had rung to be hoisted up. When the cage came up Lashley was not on. A party went down the air shaft to see what happened, and when they came to the bottom of the shaft, they found him lying dead. From all appearance he must have been caught in the timbers as the cage was leaving and got knocked off. Age 26. Married. Two orphans.

Returning to the mine with six sticks and a box of cartridges, Carlson witnessed a post giving way. According to one of the survivors, Anderson, Carlson hastily put down the explosives and the post fell on the dynamite. Anderson and his brother managed to escape the mine.
