  19 Jan 1869 Thomas was burned by an explosion of powder. He was preparing to fire a shot when a spark from a pieve of fuse which his brother was trying to see if it was good fell into the can containing about 1lb. of powder. Somehow, his brother seems to have survived (as no other Lever death record).
