27 September 1917: Colliery Fatality – About 11 o'clock on Thursday forenoon, John Harvie, 32, Miner, Low Patrick St, was killed in Clyde Colliery. He and another workman were employed in the same working place, and Harvie, farthest in, is believed to have been in the act of fixing a support prop when he was caught by a large stone which fell from the roof. Two hours elapsed before he could be extricated, by which time he was dead. [Hamilton Advertiser September 29 1917]
