Denaby Notes

Convalescent

we are glad to hear of the convalescence of Mr William Straw, a miner, who will be remembered sustained severe injuries by being “buried” in the pit together with another workman named J Littlewood in August last. Through the kindness of Mr Chambers, Straw has been sent to Scarborough Northern Sea Bathing Infirmary for a month where we hope he will get thoroughly recruited and come back well and strong. Littlewood, we are pleased to state, house resume work.
