John E. Martin, 39, clay miner, assisted in an attempt to save Reuben A. Brown, 50, mine driver, and helped to save Andrew J. Hamilton, 35, clay miner, from a mine cave-in, Brazil, Indiana, December 3, 1923. (See case of REUBEN A. BROWN.) When Martin arrived, he and Buchholz took hold of the slab on Brown, but a small piece of shale fell, causing them to jump back. Brown was then freed by the others, and Martin helped remove the shale covering Hamilton. 24633-1902
