Reese, Richard David - My wife's great grandfather Richard David Reese was killed in the Scofield Mine. Her grandfather Thomas Reese worked in the mine that day but he lived through it. In the book, "History of the Scofield Mine Disaster" by J.W. Dilly, page 110, it is written that: Jeremiah Davis is one of the lucky men who escaped from the mine on May 1. He was about half way in the mine when the explosion occurred, and at once started for the main exit. There were five boys behind him, and they impeded his progress considerbly. One was Evan Williams, the others boys were Tommy Reese, Gus Hoagland, Harry Knight, Fred Hirst, and Dave Pugh.
