Dec. 20, 1826   North Carolina Journal December 20, 1826
   MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT -- MR. WINSLOW KING, a fine promising young man of 
about 20 years  of age, a son of SAMUEL KING of Iredell County, left 
Fayetteville on Wednesday night last with a heavy loaded wagon, in company 
with a black man as a driver. The following morning near McDANIEL'S , seven 
miles from town, on the Morganton Road, in descending a hill, the saddle horse 
fell and precipitated MR. KING directly in the track of the wagon, the wheels 
of which passed over his breast and put an instant end to his life. His 
remains were brought to town on Friday and interred in the burial grouond.
   It will be some consolation to the afflicted Father to know, that the 
melancholy fate of his son awakened a general and lively sympathy in the 
bosoms of the citizens of Fayetteville, and that MR. McDANIEL and his wife, 
near whose residence the accident occurred evinced the nature and depth of 
thier feelings, by having provided the means of having his remains interred, 
properly and decently at McPHERSON'S meeting house, before his friends went 
out and had them brought to town.
