- 9 December 1919: Bellshill – Fatal Colliery Accident – A distressing colliery accident, with a fatal termination, befell James Wales while at work at the Blackband coal seam in Douglas Park Colliery at 1.15 on Tuesday afternoon. While at work a fall from the roof came away, and he was almost instantaneously killed where he worked. He was a married man with two children who resided at 130 Motherwell Road, Bellshill, and to whom the sympathy of the community is extended. [Hamilton Advertiser 13 December 1919]
