Details of Event
16 April 1928: Fife Pit Fatality - Early yesterday morning, a large roof fall took place in the Fife Coal Company's Kinneddar pit, near Saline. While several miners had a narrow escape, Campbell Fyfe, a contractor brusher, who resided at Townhill, Dunfermline was caught by the fall, which weighed about 20 tons of debris. It was several hours before the body was extricated. Death seemed to have been instantaneous. Deceased was about fifty years of age, and married. [Scotsman 17 April 1928]
