Lola Nelson was born in Sunnyside in 1909. She died this year and I ran across her personal diary of 1924. She was 15, so most of it was about girlfriends and boyfriends and such. She was attending Price HS in that year, so the Castle Gate disaster was close to home.
The following are excerpts from your diary made following the Castle Gate Mine Explosion.
March 8, 1924
About 10:00 we hear about terrible explosion in Castle Gate. 173 bodies in the No. 2 mine none expected to live. Dan Morrison and Kenneth Avery in it. Go up to see it. It was sure a terrible sight. The explosion happened about 7:30 in the morning.
March 10, 1924
Go to school and hear more about Castle Gate. Gee it's terrible. Can't study or anything all day long. They haven't found Dan or Kenneth yet.
March 11, 1924
Castle Gate is all you hear. They found Dannie Morrison's body but not Kenneth Avery's.
March 12, 1924
They started having funerals today.

Henry G. Mathis was born in Plain City, Utah on May 2, 1961. His family was called to St. George with the original company in the fall of 1861. He spent his youth there leaving the area in 1882, going to Mexico to help build the railroad from El Paso, Texas to Mexico City. He stayed there until March of 1884, leaving to come back to Utah. He traveled by rail to Price where he stopped to see his sister, Barbara McIntire. His older brother, John Mathis (The first man buried in the Price cemetery) was also there. I think he really planned to go on to St. George eventually but he never left Price. He died in 1959 at the age of 97 and was very well known in the area being a teacher, sheriff, and business man. He started a farm supply store called the Farmers Exchange and Implement Co., selling farm equipment all over Carbon and Emery Counties.

Martin Ahlin came to this country from Malo Mlacevo, Yugoslovia, when he was 17 with only a fourth grade education. His brother Joseph, brought Josephine Travnic with him from Yugoslovia to Utah in 1920. She and Martin Ahlin were married on December 29, 1920 in Price, Utah. Witnesses were Joseph Ahlin and Helen Colzani. Josephine Travnic died on December 26, 1933, leaving three young children, Josephine, Martin Ignasius and Mary Agnes. Josephine Ahlin, born in December 24, 1921, in Hiawatha, Utah would have barely turned 12 the day before Josephine Travnik died. Martin Ignasius Ahlin, born 1923 in Kenilworth, Utah would have been 10 and Mary Agnes Ahlin, born on December 28, 1925 in Kenilworth, Utah turned 8 three days after her death.
Martin Ahlin never remarried and raised these three children by himself in the coal mine town of Kenilworth. He was a fire boss in the coal mines. Coal mining was the only job he had his entire life in the USA. One funny note I remember, is mom talking about the last kitten she was allowed to have. I guess it pooped in Grandpa's coal mining hat! No more kitties after that!
Martin Ahlin lived the remaining years of his life, alone, in Helper. He didn't drive. Tony and Caroline Skerl were good neighbors on one side. The Rogers were good neighbors on the north side. I can remember being a small child and walking down the block to the corner grocery store with him. Grandpa's grocery lists were wonderful! Spagetti was "spaditti", pancake flour was "Nigger Lady Flour" ( due to Aunt Jemima's being on the packaging) Grandpa would read the newspaper and talk about the bad guys as the "dirty buggermen". He loved to play Canasta and he especially liked to WIN! If he was losing, he would scowl, then light up what he called his "lucky" smoke to bring the jokers and wildcards his way If he was winning, he had a wonderful grin on his face!
As children, he would tell us the story about a "Devil Dog" with flashing yellow eyes, and in imitating the sound of this approaching dog in the story, he would pound his large hands on his legs...and in the background, ...we ...the frightened children could hear the howling of the wolves,coyotes or ... "Devil Dogs?" ...coming from the mountains near Helper. He had very few teeth in his older years, a very hunched back, but he could still play polkas and magnificent music on his harmonica! In his later years, he had an arrangement with the Skerl's, that he would open his kitchen blind every morning so that they would know he was okay. Sadly, he did have a stroke, paralyzing him on one side making a nursing home mandatory. He died December 29, 1970 in Provo, Utah. He is buried next to his wife, Josephine Travnik Ahlin.

August Thomas (A.T.) Jones and his wife Margaret Evans Jones moved to Castle Gate around 1928, along with their three children - Margaret Ellen, Dorothy, and Vern August. A.T. had been an accountant in Salt Lake City with the Wasatch Fuel Company, when they asked him to relocate to Castle Gate and become the General Manager of all the general merchandise stores in coal camps operated by the Wasatch Store Company. At that time, they had stores in Castle Gate, Sunnyside, and Clear Creek, Utah, plus two more in Delcarbon and Somerset, Colorado. A.T. managed those stores until he left the company in 1947. Not too long after that, the coal mines became almost extinct in Carbon County. Castle Gate as a delightful small town was completely removed, part of it becoming a second Castle Gate in North Helper, Utah. The townsite was then taken over by Utah Power and Light Company, which built and currently operates a large electrical plant there.
Life in Castle Gate was typical of all the small mining communities in Utah. The auditorium ("hall") was the place where most public events took place - shows, dances, weddings, funerals. There was an especially sad time in the early 1924 when a massive mine explosion took place, killing almost 172 workers. There were very few families that did not lose at least one member. An old photo shows the mass funeral held in the hall, showing row after row of coffins.
Margaret, Dorothy and Vern all attended the Castle Gate school, the free shows, visited the ice cream parlor across the street from their home. Dorothy and Vern played in the school band. Vern spoke often of what an excellent tennis player his Dad was, teaming up with Dr. Robert Long, Principal Earl Acord, and Vern. A.T. also umpired ballgames and helped with any social event he could, always with his wife Margaret probably doing most of the work. It was an annual event for many years to visit the Jones home on Christmas Day, where A.T. and Margaret held Open House for the whole town, making what were claimed to be the best Tom and Jerries in the world. Vern related how they would have Christmas early in the day, then prepare for the party. They usually went through at least two cases of eggs for that occasion (12 dozen eggs to a case).
A.T. Jones was also a talented violinist and often was asked to play, especially at funerals. One incident recalled by family was when the folks were leaving a movie theater in Helper and met a lady acquaintance. A.T. asked how her husband was, and she replied that he had died the past year. When the lady left, wife Margaret scolded him a bit, reminding him that he had played for the man's funeral. But A.T. said he played for so many, he could not recall all their names.
A.T. Jones died in Boise, Idaho in 7/80. His wife Margaret died in Pocatello, Idaho in 1/58. Margaret Ellen married Leslie Reid, lived and died in Helper, Utah - Margaret in 6/77 and Leslie in 7/81. Dorothy married Donald Child from Price; they always lived in Salt Lake City. Dorothy died in 6/94. Vern August married Mary Ahlin from Kenilworth, Utah. They lived in numerous towns in Colorado and Utah, then settled in Idaho. Vern died 12/31/95. Mary still resides in Idaho."

My paternal grandmother, Manilla Dewey Farish, is the last surviving child of one of the victims of the Scofield Mine Disaster. She is 101 years old! Her father, Robert Farish, died in the Scofield Mine Disaster, along with his older brother, Thomas Farish, and Thomas Farish Jr., who was one of the boys who died in the explosion.
Manilla was born on July 9, 1898. Thus , she was nearly two years old when her father perished in the explosion. Her mother, Mary Evans Farish, was left a widow with six children to raise. Her father, Robert Farish, was originally born in Ohio, and her mother was born in Wales. The six children of Robert Farish and Mary Evans were: Robert, Fannie, Hazel, Margaret, Manilla and William.
Manilla says that her father, Robert Farish, would have survived the explosion, if resuscitative measures would have been performed on him, because, she states that his heart was still beating when he was removed from the mine. He was overcome with the afterdamp gas and stopped breathing.
Robert's older brother, Thomas, exited the mine after the explosion. When he realized that his son, Thomas Farish, Jr. , did not come out of the mine, he went back inside to rescue him. Tragically, the son was found on his father's back, as his father tried, in vain, to carry him out of the mine. Both were overcome by the afterdamp gas and perished.
So, the following are my three relatives who died in the Scofield Mine Disaster on May 1, 1900. My great grandfather, Robert Farish, is buried in the Scofield Cemetery. His grave is marked by a large stone oblisque. Both Thomas and his son were buried in Cleveland, Emery County, Utah.
One other important story about Thomas Farish. One miner, who survived the Scofield Mine Explosion of May 1, 1900, related this story: "I stopped to wait for the mine cart to take me to the surface when I came upon Thomas Farish. He informed me that the cart would be another 30 to 40 minutes before it would arrive. So, he suggested that I walk out, which I proceeded to do. I was walking over the hill when I heard the explosion. I formed part of a rescue team and carried out the man who saved my life, who was Thomas Farish."

Supposed Accidental Killing of Husband At Dinner Table
The Sun, July 31, 1925
Joseph J. Powell, see note 47, a bridge construction expert, was killed last Tuesday evening by accident when his wife Alberta, 36, threw a knife at him across the dinner table. The knife struck the cartilage above the heart and entered the right ventricle, killing the man instantaneously.
Apparently Mr. and Mrs. Powell had been having a bit of a family tiff. He reached out and slapped her in the face. As he leaned back, her hand grasped the nearest object, the knife, and she threw it. The doctors said that it was only one chance in a hundred that the blow could have brought death, as the knife was a dull one used for cutting flowers, and it was not thrown with much force.
A friend of the family, Carl Jackson, entered the home in time to see Powell slap his wife, then the knife thrown. Powell rose unsteadily to his feet and dropped dead without a word as Jackson and Mrs. Powell rushed to his side.
Mrs. Powell was taken to the county jail, where she is prostrated with grief. Friends of both say that they had never known of any trouble between them. Mr. Powell had been a resident of this city for twenty years. He had in his pockets tickets for himself and bridge gang who were to go to Grand Junction on work for the Denver and Rio Grande Western. Mrs. Powell was to go to Salt Lake City.
An Autopsy was performed Tuesday night and an inquest was held the next day.
News Advocate - August 6, 1925
Mrs. Alberta Powell will Stand Trial on Charge of Manslaughter
Mrs. Alberta Powell was yesterday bound over to the September term of the district court to answer to a charge of voluntary manslaughter with regard to the killing of her husband on the night of July 28. In the original complaint she was charged with second degree murder by reason of stabbing him with or throwing at him a butcher knife that penetrated into the right ventricle of the heart, an immediate hemorhage and death ensuing.
The charge was lossened against Mrs. Powell at the time of her hearing before Justice of the Peace A. Ballinger. When the state failed to show justification for the original charge, being unable to prove malice and defendant's Attorney R. Vern McCullough of Salt Lake made a strong plea for at least a manslaughter charge, the stigma of alleged murder was removed.
The jury in the case of the state of Utah against Mrs. Alberta Powell, on a charge of killing her husband, returned a verdict of "not guilty," in the district court Thursday evening. The trial had consumed the greater portion of two days. Arguments were concluded in the afternoon and the case given to the jury at the close of the session.
Mrs. Powell was charged with the killing of her husband, J.J. Powell, on the evening of July 28th, while at the supper table in the W. F. Olson home at Parkdale. On the stand she testified that she threw the knife that killed her husband, but justified the act in the statement that she "was in great bodily fear," and that her husband struck her in the face. She said that he had "beaten her up before on several occassions." Other winesses for the defendant were Carl Johnson and Julia Wendell, and for the prosecution, Sheriff Ray Deming, Deputies Sam Garret, Mack Olson and Lee Bryner testified. R. Vern McCullouch of Salt Lake City represented the defendant and O.K. Clay, county attorney, appeared for District Attorney F.W. Keller.
*The newspaper states that the man killed was "James J. Powell" instead of Joseph J. Powell.
There are other newspaper articles concerning this trial. If you are interested in learning more about the court case or if you are related to this individual please contact Charlotte Lewin.
