14 October 1935: Dailly Miner Killed In Pit - Thomas Laverty, Maxwell View, Dailly, Ayrshire, was killed at the Maxwell Pit, Dailly, yesterday. Employed as a chain runner, Laverty was working on a haulage road, and his workmates became alarmed at his non-appearance and went in search of him. They found him lying on the haulage road with his head underneath a large stone. Death appears to have been instantaneous. Laverty leaves a widow and two children. He was 26 years of age.
