Details of Event
27 February 1900: Accident – On Tuesday morning a young man named John Beattie, residing at Cockhill Place, was killed by a fall of stone at Bothwell Park Pit. The body was examined by Drs G.B. McKendrick and Carruthers, who found a fracture of the base of the skull, which must have proved instantaneous death. The deceased leaves a young widow and small family, for whom much sympathy is felt in the neighbourhood. [Bellshill Speaker March 3 1900]
