| Notes: | on 26 April, George Heron was at Woodhouse Close Colliery with his pony and cart for coals, and while loading it, another pony and cart came up, which caused the pony to run back, and deceased was crushed between the bunting and the lower end of the cart. Heron was attended by surgeon Mr. Jobson who found a "large wound on the left side of head, right ear nearly detached, and a slight fracture of the bone forming the external part of the ear." The wound was dressed, then Heron was taken home. He appeared to be on the mend, but on the 30th "erysipelas" (a streptococal infection) appeared on his face and spread to his scalp; this caused his death on 2 May. |
