60. Masaki, S.

S or K MASAKI(1-2) was born about 1893 in Japan.(3)  He died in a gas explosion in Frontier No. 1 coal mine on 14 August 1923 at the age of 30 in Frontier, Wyoming.(3)  He may be buried in Kemmerer, Wyoming.(3)

There are several discrepancies for this coal miner.  His given name initial on the death certificate is “K” and on the cemetery record and the Coal Mine Inspectors report it is “S”.(2-4)  Another discrepancy is where he is buried; there is a cemetery record from the Kemmerer City Cemetery and the death certificate supports that he is buried in Kemmerer.(3-4)  However, on 24 August 1923 in the Kemmerer Republican Masaki is listed as his body was shipped to Denver, Colorado.(5)
