| | | | | | | Railton, John, 25 Jul 1911, (accident: 19 Aug 1910), aged 61, Shifter, this accident was not regarded as serious at the time and was therefore not reported; his son had a rise stone drift taken by contract and the deceased worked in it but was on the other shift; the drift had reached the seggar of the 5/4 seam, and while Railton and another stoneman were busy putting up a balk to secure the roof a stone fell and caught him on the back knocking him down; he died on July 25th from heart failure but probably the injury he received was the primary cause |
