Son of William and Sarah Mann Dally; he was a Cornish miner that was murdered during a turbulent time at the mines around Houghton.
Derby Daily Telegraph - Monday 29 December 1913
"Only three weeks ago three young Englishmen, named Arthur and Harry Jane and Thomas Dally, who went to Calumet with 300 Cornish miners as strike-breakers, were murdered by members of the Western Miners' Federation, and there have been many fatal riots with the police end the troops. The brothers Jane and Dally were shot dead in their sleep when the strikers raided a non-union boarding-house, and the Cornishmen declared that they would not continue their work unless the mine owners made serious efforts to secure the punishment the murderers. In no cases will the strikers be reinstated, and Syndicalist agitators are urging the men to further violence. Nevertheless, the citizens offered ready sympathy on Christmas Eve, and £5,000 was subscribed for the families of the victims. The Miners' Federation declined to accept the money, and very ungraciously declared that they needed no assistance from blacklegs."
The three men were buried in a section of the cemetery owned by Duke of Wellington Lodge.
