In 1924 Melvin Dial, working at Kelly Creek, either drowned or had a heart attack while fording Kelly Creek near the station.

The water was not very deep and he was nearly across when something happened and he went down.

The body was pulled from the water about a half-mile below by someone from the station who ran down the trail and waded into the creek.
