J. Herbert Batchelor, 28, laborer, helped to save Reuben A. Brown, 50, mine driver, and Andrew J. Hamilton, 35, clay miner, from a mine cave-in, Brazil, Indiana, December 3, 1923. (See case of REUBEN A. BROWN.) When Batchelor arrived, he and others made an attempt to free Brown, but the chunk then fell on Brown and also struck Batchelor’s hand, injuring it. Batchelor then aided Tabor and another of the miners in moving the slab away from Brown. He then helped to free Hamilton. 24634-1900
