Vowell, one of the miners trapped inside the mine, had written to his wife to highlight his situation. He said those trapped in the mine are praying for the air to support them to survive.

The miner in the letter addressed his wife and said that he had to leave her in a bad situation and requested her to take care of the children.

"If we should never get out we are not hurt, only perished. There are but a few of us here and I don't know where the other men are. Elbert said for you to meet him in Heaven. Tell all the children to meet with us both there,” the Miner said in the letter.

The 1902 disaster saw over 190 people breathing their last in the explosion while 26 others passed away due to asphyxiation. What happened in 1902 is seen as one of the biggest disasters in the mining sector in the country.
