26 June 1917: Death In Lumphinnans Colliery - About midday on Tuesday, Andrew Thomson, miner, residing in Main Street, Lumphinnans, was found dead at his working place in No 1 Pit, Lumphinnans Colliery, with his head partly blown off. Thomson was working by himself, his drawer being engaged a short distance away. The drawer had not seen him since between eight and nine o'clock in the morning, and missing his presence he went to a neighbour's place to inquire if Thomson had been seen. The other man returned and on going to Thomson's working place they found him as already stated. Thomson who was a married man, was 50 years of age. [Dunfermline Journal 30 June 1917]
