12 February 1924: Fatal Accident - On Tuesday morning, at 7.30, Thomas F. Wilson, 48 years, oncost worker, residing at 10 Lockhart Street, was fatally injured while at work in No.4 section, Lower Drumgray seam, Canderside Colliery, Dalserf, belonging to Messrs James Nimmo and Company Limited. The unfortunate man was engaged stripping coal at the coal face when a large stone came away from the roof and struck him on the head. Death was instantaneous. The deceased and his family emigrated to America fully a year ago and returned only a few months since. He is survived by a widow, three daughters and one son. The funeral, which took place on Thursday, was largely attended. There were many beautiful floral tributes. [Hamilton Advertiser 16 February 1924]
