Keiser Family - Henry Keiser - Chronicling America- Crushed by falling Elevator

After a multiple year absence from using Chronicling America.org, I came back on 24 October 2022, and searched for Henry Keiser.

The rumor was that he had a mine accident in Utah, resulting in his death

This note reads as:

Crushed by a Falling Elevator

    ST. Louis, March 14.-An elevator in Robas Bros. boiler making establishment, loaded with iron plates, fell this morning. Henry Keiser, Frank Conn and Hugh Daffy, standing beneath it, were crushed to death. Thomas Flaugherty and Michael Sweaney, boys, were seriously hurt.

I am not sure that this is the correct Henry Keiser, as I am sure there were more men named as such. Helen related to me that Henry had died in a mining accident.

It is possible that Helen Walkinshaw Keiser Triplett could have mixed up the location.

Will search further.
