Utah Mining Accidents 1896-1916

Information donated by Gerald E. Sherard

In October 2007 Gerald E. Sherard wrote a report titled Utah Mining Accidents from 1896-1916. Included in this report is information about mining, how and why accidents occuried, major mine accidents, a glossary of terms, and sources of information. You can read this very informative report by clicking here: Utah Mining Accidents 1896-1916. Special thanks goes to Gerald E. Sherard for allowing his compiled list of fatal and non-fatal mine accidents to be included on this webpage. Please contact Gerald at shep964ard@hotmail.com if you are looking for information about someone who has died in a mine accident in Carbon county from 1916-2004. Thank you.

Below is an alphabetical index by miner's name for fatal and non-fatal mine accidents in Utah for the years 1896, 1899 - 1904 and 1907-1916. Note that the annual reports for the years about 1904 through about 1915, cover periods December 1st to November 30th of the following year, with the annual report year being the following year. December 1st through December 31st dates are always found in the future years annual report, and January through November 30th dates are always found in the annual report year. For example, an accident dated December 8, 1906, would be found in the 1907 annual report. An accident dated April 2, 1907, would be in the 1907 annual report.

Given in the index is: the name of the victim, date of the accident, victim's age, the mine name (residence), whether fatal (F) or non-fatal (N), page and reference source, and report year from which the information was extracted. Date died is indicated by a "d" following the date. Often, the date of accident was also the date died for fatal accidents. In Appendix I is a listing of mines with the county and mine location.
