Wilmington Journal; 18 July 1845
Fatal Accident
A fatal and painful accident happened to Henry Somerville, the son of Joseph
Arey Esq of Fayetteville on the 7th of July (Monday last.) He had filled a thick
glass cruet with powder, and turned it up to pour some out of it on a coal of
fire. The consequence was an explosion of the whole, which stunned him, and
wounded him in several places with the fragments of glass. Whether any of it
entered the body or not was not satisfactorily ascertained but he expired, after
much suffering, about half past 4 o'clock on Wednesday morning last. Aged about
10 years.
Thus three deaths and a calamitous fire have visited this unfortunate family
within the last 6 months. - North Carolinian
