Article Text: We hear from Bucks County, that one morning last week, William JEFFREYS, Blacksmith, was found dead in the woods there. It appeared to the Coroner's Inquest, that he ha been cutting wood the day before; that the first tree he attempted to fall had lodged in the top of another; that cutting the second they both fell against a third; and all fastned together fell against a fourth tree, which was decay'd and broke off in the middle, so that part of it falling on him crush'd his leg; and being alone and unable to disengage himself, he perished with the cold and anguish. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
