Berrien County Record 1 May 1985 "Tales of an Old Town" by W.C. Hawes, Chapter 154 - Mrs Irene Hagel writes of Old Days in Bend of the River: Thomas Broadhurst told his daughter, Irene, about the death of his grandfather (William Broadhurst Sr.) "One day a woman of the Ives family came to the Broadhurst home and told a strange dream that she had the night before. She dreamed that several men were carrying a man, covered with a white sheet, up the stony hill to the Broadhurst home. A few days later William Broadhurst, then a sturdy oldster of 84 years, was chopping down a tree on that same hillside. In falling, the tree lodged on another tree. While Broadhurst was working to dislodge it, it fell on him, killing him instantly. He was found there by one of the family and was carried up the hill in a sheet, in accordance with the dream of the Ives woman."
