Tragedy in American Fork Canyon, Utah

The winter of 1905-06 brought exceptionally heavy snowfall. Western newspapers began to carry daily reports of death and destruction caused by avalanches in high mining camps. George Tyng and his son, Francis, felt reasonably safe as they had built their camp among big pines away from known snowslide patterns. Soon after Christmas, Francis left to attend college at Stanford, while his father remained to manage the mine.

In Victoria, Texas, on January 15, 1906 Elena Tyng wrote to her husband:

"Your last letter of December 29 brought the good news that you would leave for home no later than January 10. Here it is the 15th and no telegram or letter from you. I have come to the conclusion that you are either snowbound or too sick to write. ...

"I am glad for your sake you did not come this past week, for we have had the worst spell of cold rainy  weather this winter. ...

"I know it is a dreadful long and tiresome journey to take just to see me. But I have made my mind up that once I get to the mine, you will have hard work in getting rid of me. I shall not be away from you if I can have any say about it."

It was almost as if Elena had a intuitive premonition of impending tragedy when she wrote her last letter to George Tyng --- a letter he never read.

Shortly after noon on January 19, 1906, Tyng was working on papers in his office, a little lean-to some distance from the rest of the camp. Suddenly a tremendous cascade of snow swept over the building, smashing it down on top of him and burying him under fifteen feet of packed snow.

The entire crew at the mine hurried out to search for their employer. As darkness fell, they found Tyng's body, badly bruised, with a pencil still clasped between frozen fingers.  A nail from a falling roof beam had penetrated his skull and killed him instantly.
