And, on Friday night last, Mr. Benjamin ARTMITAGE, of this county, being an ancient man and feeble, miss'd his way in the dark, as he was returning home from a visit to some of his neighbours, and going over the swampy part of a meadow, sunk so deep in mud and water that he could not get out, and was there found dead. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
