Miner Information:
Carl Chillock worked as a breaker boy when he was about 12. He wanted to enlist in 1941, but since he was working in the deep mines, which was considered a vital industry, he was refused. He worked in the mines until approximately 1944, when he was buried in a cave-in, which resulted in the crushing of his ankle so badly that doctors wanted to amputate it. He refused and after over 9 months in a cast, the mines declared him unfit to work. He received no compensation. He suffered his whole life with pain in his ankle and later in life, with breathing problems and related angina. He was a hard-working man who worked at various jobs from chauffeur to bartender. He died at age 52 from a coronary occlusion. He died at work. People remember him as a fun-loving man who loved playing cards and fishing. I remember him as a loving father.
