"Albert met his death at 7 years of age under most extraordinary and distressing circumstances. A small dead tree stood near the house of the Sacketts. Mrs. Sackett, for some cause, took an axe one day when her husband was away from home and set to work in an awkward way, cutting it down. Her son, Albert, following her, stood at a safe distance, but when he saw it was about to fall, ran toward his mother, was struck on the head by it and killed."
