Details of Event
7 May 1929: Bellshill - Colliery Fatality - On Tuesday, about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, while a Lithuanian named Kazimiers Ciarniackis, a colliery brusher, was at work in Parkhead Colliery, he was accidentally killed. It would appear that he had arranged a shot for blasting purposes, and as it was a bit slow in going off, he approached to ascertain the cause when the shot fired. He was struck on the head and instantly killed. Deceased was a single man, 50 years of age, and lodged at 40 Beechwood Gardens, Mossend. [Hamilton Advertiser 11 May 1929]
