Jan. 31, 1857    North Carolina Argus
              FROZEN TO DEATH
   We learn that DR. CHARLES HARRIS, a highly respectable citizen of Catawba 
County, came to his death on Monday night, the 19th inst., under most 
distressing circumstances. It appears that he left home for the purpose of 
going to Concord, but before proceeding directly for that point, he had 
occasion to visit a neighbor's house, and in attempting to do so, he lost his 
way in the woods. On arriving at a small branch, he stepped upon the ice which 
yielded under his weight and plunged him into the water. His horse, in the 
meantime, had run off and left him alone. After he had gotten out of the 
water, being throughly chilled and benumbed with cold, and his clothes frozen, 
he dragged himself to the brow of the hill, where he fell and perished in the 
snow.
