7 December 1921: Fatal Pit Accidents - While Michael Ghilmartin, who resides at North Glencraig, was engaged at the coal face in No.2 Pit, No 4 Brae, Glencraig Colliery, on Wednesday afternoon, a fall of roof came away, pinning him to the pavement, and when he was extricated life was found to be extinct. An accident occurred on Tuesday last in Glencraig colliery, when a miner named Dilligan was seriously injured. He was conveyed to West Fife Hospital, suffering from wounds to his back and legs.
