Clinton MO - Crushed in Coal Mine - Charles D. Adams, Lewis Station, Fatally Injured at Bowen Mine, North of Calhoun, Thursday - Charles David Adams was fatally crushed last Thursday about 1:30 p.m. by a ton and a half of coal which pinned him helpless from the hips down at the Bowen coal tipple, three miles north of Calhoun. His fellow workers, D. Holt and Elmer Combs, released him in about 15 minutes and a doctor and ambulance were immediately called and took him to his home, with his only son, Floyd, at Lewis Station. He suffered internal injuries and the left ribs were broken in the back, puncturing his lung. The fatal hemorrhage in about two hours resulted in his death. Although in excruciating pain, he was conscious until released. Mr. Adams was considered an expert miner and was working in the same coal mines at the time of an accident three years ago, which killed Elmer Yount. He united with the Clinton Christian church a number of years ago. He was born March 11, 1870, on the homeplace now occupied by a sister and family, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Steadman, near Lewis Station and there grew to manhood. When 24, he united in marriage to Mrs. Kate Turner Baker of Leesville and of this union, their only son survives, also one grandson, three-year-old Chas. Floyd. He is also survived by his stepson, Grover Baker, of Pittsburg, Kans., half-brother, Lum Evans, Sedalia; half-sisters, Mrs. Richard Steadman, near the home; Mesdames H. H. Peterson, Lula Bristow, Bessie Faucett and Bertha Spring, all of Kansas City. After his marriage, he and wife lived in Clinton where he worked as a pottery molder, and later was on a Frisco bridge gang, then for 17 years was in a Chicago and Alton freight house at Kansas City. Following the death of his wife in 1930, he came back to Henry County, living with his son. He had worked in coal mines and pits all his life, learning the trade in his youth, and returned to it at various intervals, but from 1931, he had made it his sole occupation. His grandson was his great delight and altho of a quiet nature, he fully appreciated his home life with his son. Any suffering was borne in silence, as he never complained of any situation. He was genial and well liked by his associates. Funeral services were conducted Saturday at the Consalus and Peck funeral chapel. Burial at Combs cemetery.
