Details of Event
18 January 1924: Fatal Accident - On Friday of last week Mr James Clarke, Divity, while at work in one of the Auchlochan Collieries met with a serious accident, a large stone falling from the roof and pinning him under it. On getting him released it was found his injuries were of such a nature that his removal to the infirmary was thought necessary, but he expired before reaching there. Much sympathy is felt for his widow and family in their sad bereavement. [Hamilton Advertiser 26 January 1924]
