10 December 1931: Miner Killed At Bellshill - Frank Millar (17), 116 Main Street, Bellshill was fatally injured yesterday morning at No.5 Rosehall Collieries, belonging to R. Addie & Co., Bellshill. While stepping on to the winding cage. Preparatory to descent, the cage moved away and Millar was crushed against the pithead scaffold. Death was almost instantaneous. The lad was the only wage-earner in his mother's house. [Scotsman 11 December 1931]
