 | Chappell, William Frank, 07 Nov 1924, 8.30 p.m., 5th hour of shift, aged 29, Stoneman, A canch shot was fired in a roof of jointy post on the night previous to the accident, and was partly cleared away by deceased and his marrow. The same two men returned to complete the redding on the following night when a stone, 11 ft. by 5 ft. 6 ins. and 2 ft. 9 ins. thick, fell on to deceased without warning, killing him. Roof supports ought to have been set in the gateway near the face of the canch, and the accident could have been prevented by a more careful inspection and the setting of adequate supports, Buried: Holy Trinity Churchyard, Seghill | |||||
