16 February 1932: Fatality In A Bo'ness Pit - By a fall from the roof in the Smithy Coal section in the Carriden Colliery, Bo'ness, Robert Grant (24), miner's drawer, was fatally injured. James Bow, miner, living at Crawfield, narrowly escaped being hit. The two men were developing a new working place, and were only a yard apart. Grant was pinned to the pavement by a stone weighing 6 cwts., and it took five men to extricate him. Grant lived with his parents at 76 Furnace Row, Bo'ness. His marriage was fixed to take place on March 25. [Scotsman 17 February 1932]
