Archie, parents & siblings in 1900 census in Butler county, KS. The Walnut Valley Times El Dorado, Kansas Wednesday, January 19, 1916 Page 3 Ex-ElDoradoan Is Victim Of Accident Archie Cronk of Chilocco, Okla., former resident of Prospect township, brother to H. Cronk and Miss Nellie Cronk and a former teacher in the schools of Butler county, was killed by gas Tuesday, while at work changing discs in the station of the People's Fuel & Supply Co., at Arkansas City. Cronk, W.S. Squire of Newkirk and David Hunt of Newkirk, tried to change a disc on the orifice natural gas meter at the People's Fuel & Supply company's station on the state line three miles south of here. It is supposed that the men were overcome while in the conduit, which is four feet deep, replacing a small disc with a larger on order to increase the flow of fuel. Ordinarily it is a one man's job and why three were attending it, is not clear. Squire and Cronk were dead when found and Hunt was unconscious, lying across the others. The accident happened at a point where the Wichita Natural Gas company begins its supply from the People's company. Squire was field superintendent of the People's company and Cronk was station attendant. Hunt also was an employee of the same company.
