"The remains of Joseph Bevell, who was killed at a mine near Hastings, Colo., Monday evening, arrived at Chillicothe Thursday noon accompanied by his widow and Mr. and Mrs. George Bevell. The body was taken to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.K. Bevell, South Cherry Street.
Joe Bevell was killed by 500 pounds of coal falling on him. He had driven his team under a chute to load a piece of machinery which had been broken, when a trip which holds a large load of coal was touched by one of the workmen and the entire contents came down on Bevell, breaking his neck and killing him instantly. He was in the employ of the Victor-American Fuel Company.
He was a member of the local I.O.O.F. and Loyal Knights. Joe Bevell left Chillicothe about five years ago to join his brother, George, who is working at a mine in Hastings. Mr. Bevell was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Bevell of South Cherry Street and was an industrious and worthy young man.
Besides his widow, he is survived by his parents, three brothers and two sisters.
Funeral services from the Bevell home Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. Mast conducting the services. Burial will be made in Edgewood Cemetery." The Chillicothe Constitution, September 23, 1909
