The Boissevain Mine explosion, early Saturday morning, February 27, 1932. The following were lost in the explosion. Names spelled as shown here: White miners: Sid Thomas Warren Harless Clayton Hodge J. L. Phipps Dave Wire Walker Thomas Robert Hardy Orbie Hardy O. R. Jones L. O. Brown Mason Shupe Burton Brooks Tom Yeates Charles Yeates Garnet McCormick James Hardy John Heck Sam Abrams C. R. Brown Sam White Claude Baldwin Garnet (Mike) Shupe Mont Miller John Baker Homer Baldwin Black miners: Dallas Fitzgerald Edd Pegram Sam Robinson Lewis Moten Lee Baker Will Johnson William Saunders Ben Saunders Edd Saunders Brady Adams W. S. White Howard Petty Mexican miner: Victor Auguieleo You have by this time noticed that many of those killed are of the same family. I do not have any family stories but it would be interesting to see them posted here if any of you folks know any. I think it is important to know what our families went through. It is hard to imagine the emotions of a community of probably 300 suffering a loss such as this at one time. I know my mom was emotional when speaking of this intil her death. She and dad lived three houses from the Company Store which was just across the creek from the Boissevain Mine Tipple. Robert Crabtree
