About Thomas John Kelly
ACCIDENT No. 22. - February 14. Captain Thomas Kelly, mining captain at the old Franklin Mine, met with a sad accident by falling from the 15th to the 16th level in No. 3 shaft, Franklin Mine. It is not known at what time the accident occurred or exactly in what manner. The last time he was seen, he was going from No. 5 to No. 3 shaft about noon. The men came to the surface at noon and reported that he had been seen in No. 5 shaft at about 11 o'clock, but it was not until evening that any fears were entertained as to his safety. When evening came, and he had not come up out of the mine, a search was instituted, with the result that his body was found at the 16th level cold in death. It was presumed that he lost his hold while climbing down the ladder.
An inquest was held before Coroner Fisher and the jury returned the following verdict: “We, the jury, upon our oaths, do say that the said Thomas Kelly came to his death upon the fourteenth day of February, A. D., 1902, in No. 3 shaft, Franklin Mine, by a shock received by accidentally falling down the shaft.”
