29 August 1930: Dysart Pit Fatality - Early yesterday morning the Francis pit, Dysart, was the scene of a distressing accident, as the result of which William Beall (27), chief electrician, Eddington Place, Dysart, lost his life. At the time of the mishap Beall was repairing some machinery underground, when a huge stone became dislodged and fell on top of him. Although his colleagues worked with the utmost speed, a considerable time elapsed before he could be extricated, and on examination he was found to be dead. [Scotsman 30 August 1930]
