Website Note: Recently we discovered one more miner killed in the Hanna Basin Mines, making the total 372 not 371. The spreadsheets below have not been corrected, but will be in the near future.
Joseph Angwin should be added to the list. He was killed in the Union Pacific Coal Company's No. 2 mine in 1913 when a coal car ran over him. He died a week later in the Rawlins hospital.

The Hanna Basin includes the towns of Hanna and Elmo, which still exist, along with the coal camps of Carbon, Dana and Sampo, which are now ghost towns.
