JOHN DEMOUTH
MAN KILLED BY A TREE FALLING ON HIM – On Thursday last John Demouth, an old and respectable resident of Charlestown, met with an accident which resulted fatally on Saturday. He was chopping down a tree about a quarter of a mile from the house and when it commenced to fall he stepped back as he supposed a safe distance, but it turned out otherwise. The tree in falling struck a stump causing the butt to fly around and strike Mr. Demouth knocking him down, breaking one of his legs and otherwise injuring him. His cries soon brought assistance and after great exertion he was extradited. Dr. LaCount was immediately summoned who set his leg and did all in this power to relieve him but in vain. Mr. D. was a very old man and near sighted and could not possibly see what course the tree would take when falling. He was buried on Sunday.
