We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Utah history textbook: “Utah’s worst mine disaster killed 246 people, including 61 Finnish immigrants and 20 boys. Some of the miners were killed by an explosion of coal dust inside the mine. In an adjoining mine, men heard an explosion and tried to rush out but instead met deadly carbon monoxide gas. It was a time of great mourning in the mining towns. In those days, the mining companies didn’t take responsibility for accidents or deaths but the company did pay for a set of new burial clothes, a coffin, $500 to each miners’ family. The disaster prompted a labor strike a following winter. Through the following years workers fought for more safety and workers compensation (money) when a miner was injured or killed.” p208
