FIFE HERALD, THURSDAY 13TH MAY 1852
SUDDEN DEATH
James Cunninghame, a portioner at Cairneyhill, had gone about in his usual good health during the whole of Wednesday last, and between nine and ten o’clock had gone out with a neighbour to give an opinion of a cow in calf. On coming into his own house, he made some remarks to his wife about his own cows; and sitting down on a chair, laid his hand on his breast, and expired in an instant.
DUNFERMLINE SATURDAY PRESS, SATURDAY 11TH JUNE 1859
ACCIDENT
On Tuesday night, as one of Mr Luke’s carts was proceeding along the road between Crossford and Cairneyhill, the carter came up with a pedestrian who solicited a ride; the request was granted, and the man got upon the cart. The two rode on for some time in perfect friendship, but ultimately they quarrelled, and the passenger being thrown off the vehicle, fell before the wheel, which passed over him and broke his leg.
