Castle Gate is the rebar — the 'plain crosses' that's the markers made, the 'same date' that's the '24 kept. The '172 gone' is the counted — the 'no survivors' that's the blast's whole, the 'rescuer too' that's the gas took. The 'nations mixed' is the crew — the '49 Greeks' that's the largest block, the '15 year old' that's the youngest worked.
The 'coal dust' is the lit — the 'headlamps open' that's the spark made, the 'watering skipped' that's the shift's sin. The 'widows 110' is the left — the '264 children' that's the orphans counted, the 'relief fund' that's the state raised. Castle Gate is the lined — the 'rows same' that's the graves' form, the 'unidentified' that's the bodies' state.
The file keeps Castle Gate: the rebar crosses, the nation's mix, the lit dust, and the widows' fund.
Castle Gate Cemetery is the archive's Utah file — the graves that share one date.
