Death in Utah Mines

While there is no way to tell each and every story of death in early Utah mining operations, still, I have acquired a number of complete first hand reports and complied many more "stories". I will present theme here.
 
The accident and the death was just the beginning of the story. Depending on the circumstance, an inquest was held, an investigation conducted, a lawsuit begun, and in some cases insurance payouts, and signed legal releases executed. A number of these original documents are presented here that you might learn and understand the process as it was.
