Details of Event
17 December 1924: Pit Fatality – On Friday a young lad named Downie lost his life in Messrs Nimmo’s Blackie Pit, New Stevenston. He was working below ground when a stone came away from the roof and, falling on him, caused almost instantaneous death. The deceased was quite a young lad, still in his teens, and he resided at Baird’s Square. [Motherwell Times 26 December 1924] NB It is likely this article refers to death of Wincas Dawnarawicus
