The American Legion Hall in Overton was just one of many places used as a temporary morgue following the explosion.

It was here that Billy Grigg and his father George Grigg found the middle son "Edwin Grigg" who was identified when they saw his foot protruding from under a sheet and it was missing a big toe. Edwin had lost the toe while playing on a pumpjack a year and 4 days earlier.
