4 September 1928: Uddingston - Mining Fatality - Early on Tuesday morning, while James M'Mahon, miner, residing at Caldervale Rows, Uddingston, was in the act of setting a jib tree to shift the position of the coal cutting machine, in Blantyre Ferme Colliery, Uddingston, a fall took place from the roof, and he was buried in the debris. On being extricated and brought to the surface, life was found to be extinct. [Hamilton Advertiser 8 September 1928]
