Thurs. April 12, 1860   North Carolina Argus.
   On last Thurday evening the family of MR. W. H. HUBBARD, residing Anson  
County about 10 miles from town, were thrown into great distress by the 
accidental killing of the eldest son, aged about 14 years. On the evening 
mentioned, just before sunset, he, with several of his father's neighbors and 
neighbor's hands was out fighting fire in the woods, wich under the influence 
of a strong wind, threatened great destruction of property, especially on his 
father's plantation. While passing in the neighborhood of some standing dead 
pines, the top of one of them blew off, falling on his head and crushing the 
skull in, causing his death in about an hour after being struck. The loss of 
this promising boy has cast a deep gloom over the neighborhood in which his 
parents reside.
