Details of Event
6 June 1917: Youth Killed at Clyde Colliery – About 2 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, Isaac Callison, 17, haulage worker, son of and residing with Richard Callison, miner, Holyrood Street Burnbank, accidentally met his death while at work in the Pyotshaw coal seam of No.3 Pit, Clyde Colliery. He had halted with a rake of empty hutches until a rake of loaded ones coming in the opposite direction had passed him. He went to meet the loaded rake, and while standing on the other line, the loaded hutches, in some unexplained way, left the rails and knocked him down, injuring him so severely that he lived only a few moments. [Hamilton Advertiser 9 June 1917]
