Edward Goodall

Age:   53
Died:   25th Jan 1911
Accident:   25th Jan 1911
Year Born:   abt. 1858
Colliery:   Brandon
Company:   Strakers and Love
Occupation:   Hewer
Notes:  
while hewing in a broken working 4½ yards wide, a stone 12 feet long, 2½ feet thick with a maximum width of 4½ feet, suddenly fell from between slips in the roof and killed him; when the deputy had examined the place the last timber was 3 feet from the coal and the roof sounded good and appeared to be safe; at the time of the accident the face had been advanced 3 feet, and according to the distance fixed in the timbering rule, another row of supports was just required; this accident emphasizes the fact that no reliance can be placed in the sound obtained from a stone of the above thickness
Buried:   Brandon Cemetery
Category:   Falls in the Mine :: Falls of Roof :: At working faces, whilst hewing or working
