Held on August 12th 1918
1020. Chopwell. Richard Frost, 61, hewer.
Died on June 18th, 1918, as a result, it is alleged, of injuries received on June 4th, 1918, when, it is stated, he was lifting a large stone. At the inquest the cause of death was given as exhaustion due to Peritonitis, but how the same was caused no satisfactory evidence to the jury was forthcoming. Deceased left a widow aged 62, and a grandchild wholly dependent.
We had the local doctor present, and on the evidence given by him the Committee awarded £300.
