Last Sunday, November 19, 1911, Earl Meadow, his little sister and Ralph Coon were playing in a cave they had made in a bank near the home of D.S. Coon, who lives near Redmoon, the bank caved in. The boys were caught by the dirt while the little girl in trying to get out was only caught by her feet. Her screams attracted the attention of Haston Seago and wife who were at the Coon home, ran to the child's assistance. By the time they reached the scene, the little girl had freed herself. She told Mr. Seago where the boys were entombed so he at once began digging, rescuing Ralp Coon first, who was still alive. He then set to work digging out the little Meadow boy. When he was found, he was standing up with his head down and his neck broken.
