From The Richmond Palladium (Indiana) of November 9, 1922:
Wilmington Evening Journal (Delaware) of November 9, 1922:
Note: Those stating that Spangler Mine Disaster “is said to be greatest disaster in American mining history” have apparently forgotten the Monongah Mine Disaster of December 1907 and the Darr Mine Disaster which followed shortly thereafter.
