Shown (from left to right) in the immediate aftermath of their rescue from the gas-filled west side waterworks tunnel on July 25, 1916, are Michael Gallagher, Lawrence Dunn, and Mike Keogh. They were among the dozen or so workers who participated in the second rescue attempt into the tunnel led by Construction Superintendent Gus Van Duzen. Because of confusion and inconsistent reports in the Cleveland news media, it is unclear exactly who rescued them from the tunnel. It was likely either Van Duzen's stepson Tom Clancy and his friend James Keating, Firefighters Richard Kistemaker and Dan Lavelle, or Garrett Morgan. | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special CollectionsDownload Original File
