Dying Miners Wrote Notes To Families Some Miners Lived Over Half A Day C.ntnilia. HI, Mach 31 HP) Without hysterics or heroics, 15 of the Centralia coal mine's 111 vh-tims waited more titan half a: day to be rescued from the 540 foot gas-blasted pit, and then scribbled farewell nohw to their wives and families, it was revealed today. The notes were found in the j po.-kets of the men. who lay down to die in an underground room ap- |. oximateiy a mile from the center 'of last Tuesday's explosion. The last of the note- timed 'off at 6:30 am Wednesday said: “It b< seeping In on us.” Th*- writ«‘r r<-fe red to the deadly I blanket of monoxide gas which! spread through the tunnel after the 3:30 p.m. blast. Written on scraps of paper which : hud served a« -andwich wrappers' ami on small sheets torn from a \ pocket note book, the brief mess ages were mostly Inst, actions fori clearing up personal affairs, declarations of love, and a plea from | one miner that his wife make sure ; their children attended church reg I ularly. The 15 m* n apparently had made no effo:t to brattice the- doors of the worked-out coal room in which ) they were found. What ventilation * remained In the mine after the explosion carried tne fumes down the tunnel, pact their “door,’’ and' !th<-n, almost 15 hours later, began seeping into every nook and cranny ’ of the* mine. Rescuers found the men lying it.! the room as if they had merely! stopped for a test before proc-eed-1 itig to the shaft and safety. One: | miner had rolled his coat into n I pillow and c urled up on the hard ; floor. A large note, lying on the floor, | j told rescueiw there were- “notes' ihi our pockets" "Give to our ; wives " After a brief scanning, the mes i .•cages were returned to the men's pockets and the'r bodies brought to the surface The notes were turned over to the families when they appeared to identity the bodies as they lay In the tem|H>rary : morgue, awaiting burial today, toCABINETS Double Bowl Base Sink • and Wall Cabinets Rcadv .Made & Tailor Made Harrison Water Heaters and Deep Freezers RADIOS Conaole-Combination Record Players KITCHEN Maytag Sales and Service Washers • Sweepers 110 .Jefferson St. I’hone 95
