2 May 1937: Miner's Death After Mishap In Colliery - A Bellshill miner named Alexander Russell (46), who resided at 45 Calder Road, Mossend, died in Glasgow Royal Infirmary yesterday as the result of an accident in Gateside Colliery, near Cambuslang. It appears that Russell, who was employed as a brusher on the night shift, was struck by a large piece of rock which seriously injured his leg. [Scotsman 3 May 1937]
