Irene, Arron S. Simonson was a person who could have signed this paper.
He was a prominent person, served in Civil War, donated lots to schools
and churches and served as a preacher. Extensive history in Clay County
History Book on he and his wife. He died in 1897. You should check with
the Clay County Genealogical Society and get a look up in the WPA index
of Births which run from about 1870 to 1920. May find what you are
looking for there.
Fatal mine accidents for this time period are pretty well documented.
Have seen reports in Clay County Genealogical Lib. Should be in Indiana
State Library as these accidents were investigated and documented by
State Inspectors, in that time period.
