Note: The death of Samuel Dickinson occurred at the Hanna Hospital on Thursday morning, July 15th. He was one of the pioneers of that district, having resided in Carbon County some fifty years. Seven years since, he removed to Berkeley, California, where his son and daughter live, and made the journey each Memorial Day to Hanna and took part in the exercises at the old Carbon Cemetery, where the remains of several loved ones, relatives and friends, were interred. It was his want each year to organize a committee to clean up the cemetery and have things in readiness. Employed by the Company at one time, he quit its service and entered into business on his own account, selling out to The Union Pacific Coal Company about 1928. Interment was made in the old Carbon burial grounds on July 17th, the Masonic fraternity conducting the services. Mr. Dickinson had reached his 72nd year. The sympathy of the community is extended to the surviving members of the family. (UPCCEM, August 1937)

Note: On August 29, 1949, Earl Duty, age 53, married, and has one child was fatally injured at the Hanna 4A mine, property of the Union Pacific Coal Company. Lyman Fearn, State Coal Mine Inspector, accompanied by John Hughes, General Superintendent; Frank Peternal, Safety Engineer; John Kivi and William Hapgood, members of the safety committee of the Hanna Nine Workers Local Union No. 2335, investigated the accident. Earl Duty was employed as a machine runner’s helper and was helping Dill Garner on a cutting crew in 3C plane on a 290 Jeffrey machine. They had finished cutting 18 ½ room and was tramming the machine out of a slant from 18 ½ room to 19 room. Dill Garner was riding the machine and Earl Duty was walking along opposite to the side the machine man was riding. The cutter bar was set at an angle of about chest high. Mr. Duty quit walking and the cutter bar caught him against the rib, causing injuries which were fatal. The slant at the point of the injury was 13 feet 6 inches in width 7 feet 6 inches from the rail looking down on the lift side and 2 feet 10 inches on the right side. It was at this point the accident occurred. The machine cable was not long enough to reach from the source of power to the face of 18 ½ room and a jumper was in use. This Department recommends that the power lines be maintained so the machine cable is long enough to reach the place being cut. Instructions are to be given to all machine crew helpers that are to precede the machine or follow same when tramming. Never walk alongside of the machine. The facts and circumstances surrounding this accident are to be disseminated to all workmen and supervisors. (MIR) (BL)
