He was working in the mine of the Exline coal company when hurt. He tried to sledge down a fall of coal, and falling in his attempt, crawled under the coal and commenced to pick it down, when it fell upon him, crushing his thigh and tearing therr ribs loose, besides inflicting other injuries upon him. He suffered greatly from that time until this morning when he died. He was a single man 18 years old. Ho will be buried in the Exline cemetery tomorrow. ~~ Published in Centerville Daily Citizen, Centerville, Iowa, April 7, 1903 on page 3 Clark Conger, Son of Mr. and Mrs. John Conger, was born on their farm near Exline where he went to school and worked on the farm until the fall 1892 when he went into the mine of the Exline Coall Co., which is located on the Conger farm, for the purpose of mining coal. He continued to work until March 20, 1903. He and his brother Orlan, were working in the same room. They had made a break of the coal and had sledged it down. It failed to fall and Clark crawled under it to pick it down when about six tons of the coal fell on his body completely covering him and would soon have crushed his life out but a neighbor boy happened to be present and ran for assistance while Orlan with an iron bar, lifted the coal up off his lungs enough for him to breath until assistance came. When the coal was lifted off him he was carefully removed to his home a half mile distant where physicians attended him. He was tenderly cared for and everything done to alleviate his sufferings, but all to no avail, for on the 24th of March at 7:00 o'clock in the morning he sank to his rest as peacefully as a child falling to sleep, surrounded by his parents and brothers and sisters. He was conscious to the last and gave minute directions regarding his funeral services. He died in a loving and abiding faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, bade all his friends an affectionate farewell and asked them all to meet him in heaven. By his own request, he was laid to rest in the new cemetry at Cincinnati, and his funeral services were conducted by his pastor, the Rev. E. J. Shook, By his request, the choir sang “Nearer My God to Thee” His remains were accompanied to the grave by a large concourse of friends and the ____ union in a body. At the time of his death he was 18 years, 11 months and 13 days of age. Card of Thanks. Thanks from the brothers and sisters and father and especially the mother of Clark Conger, are hereby extended to the neighbors and friends who so kindly gave their sympathy and assistance in our sad hour of affliction and bereavement.— Mrs. R. L. Conger, John Conger, Gregory Conger, Orlan Conger, May and Myrtle Conger, Brooks Conger and Vesta Conger.
