The following items from the Friday, 16 February, 1872, edition of the Glasgow Herald may be of interest: -
DEATH
At Pathfoot, Kilwinning, on the 14th instant, (from the effects of an accident), NEIL SMALL, of Durrens* Saw Mill.
KILWINNING FATAL ACCIDENT
A painful accident, and which, we regret to say, has now terminated fatally, occurred at the Reddance* Saw Mill, here, on Tuesday last. Mr. NEIL SMALL, who has occupied the premises for many years, was engaged attending the revolving saw when a piece of wood, becoming detached, suddenly rebounded and struck him on the abdomen, causing, it is believed, a severe rupture.
Everything that medical skill could devise was done, but he gradually sank, and died on Wednesday night.
A wide feeling of sympathy has been expressed, as Mr. Small was much respected as a friend and man of business.
He leaves a widow and large family.
