Details of Event
6 & 7 August 1900: Two Miners Killed – Two Lanarkshire miners were killed on Wednesday, while engaged in their daily labours. Daniel M'Menemy, residing at Fairneybank Chapelhall, was sinking a pit at Newarthill, belonging to the United Collieries Ltd, when he was fatally injured by a stone falling on his head. A polish miner named Pitronage, residing at Bellshill, was knocked down by a loaded hutch and dragged a distance of twelve yards in Messrs Wm. Baird & Co.'s at Bothwell Park Collieries. Death was almost instantaneous. [Bellshill Speaker August 11 1900]
