Wilmington Journal; 21 November 1845
More Carelessness - Week before last, a boy living in Gate county, NC, who was
amusing himself with a gun, which he supposed to be empty, placed a cap on the
nipple, and turning to a young lady named Mary Overman, said playfully, "Cousin
Mary, I'm going to shoot you," firing at the same moment. The contents lodged in
the poor girl's face, tearing away the entire side of it. Two hours afterwards,
she expired, after having suffered the most excruciating agony.
