Details of Event
While James Ramsay (41), under manager, who resided at County Houses, Parkside, Cleland, was at work in the Murdostoun Coal Company's Westwood colliery, Cleland, on Monday, lowering a coal-cutting machine from one section to another, he fell down the shaft to the pit bottom – a distance of 12 fathoms. He sustained injuries to which he succumbed soon afterwards. Deceased leaves a widow and family. [Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser 25 December 1915]
