William Telford
| Age: | 43 |
| Died: | 4th Jul 1914 |
| Accident: | 4th Jul 1914 |
| Year Born: | abt. 1871 |
| Colliery: | Towneley, Emma Pit |
| Company: | Stella Coal Co., Ltd. |
| Occupation: | Deputy |
| Notes: | Deceased had been assisting another deputy in getting up some rails, and was returning outbye when he was killed by a fall of roof. The roof was of post, but it was fractured. The stone gave no warning at all so the rolleywayman said (he was standing 2 yards away at the time). The examination by the responsible deputy was not, in all probability, thorough. Familiarity with a road often leads to neglect. |
