Hetton. Edward Pearson, 17, pony-putter.
Died on July 11th, 1914, from consumption. It was alleged that death was accelerated by injuries received on November 1st, 1906, when his head was crushed between a tub and a prop Deceased was a single man, and lived with his parents.

Weekly payments prior to death, £154/1/2.
