- Details of Event
- Five men were standing on a ledge on the quarry face, when the crane chain was fastened to a stone above them. Warning was given to the men that stone was about to be lifted, and they moved away, some half-dozen yards, to what they considered was a safe position. As the lump was being lifted by the crane it displaced other stones from the quarry face, and one of these struck Lockwood on the head, killing him instantly.
