14 February 1916: Shotts - Fatal Accident To A Boy – A sad accident occurred on Monday to a boy named Donald Robertson, age 14 years and 6 months, son of Mr Andrew Robertson, residing at Hawthorn Place, Dykehead, Shotts. It appears that the lad had been employed at Hurst Colliery washing machine, and got caught among the machinery and was dreadfully mangled. [Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser 19 February 1916]
