Explosion
On October 22, 1914, an explosion killed 52 miners. This was the worst mine disaster to date in the coal fields of southern Illinois. Many of the miners killed in the explosion were European immigrants. 13 of the dead miners were parishioners of the Protection of the Holy Virgin Mary Orthodox Church Royalton IL, a Russian Orthodox church in Royalton. There is a memorial at the church, and many of the miners were buried in a cemetery dedicated to the disaster. The mining company donated land north of Royalton to bury the miners, and became St. Mary's Russian Orthodox Cemetery. Each year, on October 27 a panachida is celebrated in remembrance of the thirteen parishioners who were killed.
The North #1 mine operated until September, 1951.
