Notes Old case;Sustained amputated left arm 10/06/1887 and after working from Feb 1890 to 23/03/1921, was stopped on the grounds that he was too old for his work. The Board replaced him on the F unds as from 24/03/1921, the Board feeling that Mr Major has done his bit in remaining so long at light work. A Collier of the best possible type, Mr Major has been a carful man, and his savings small as they are exclude him from the benefit of the Old Age Pension Act.
