Dec. 10, 1840   Charlotte  Journal
   MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT -- We learn that a few days ago, a young man by the 
name of CLARK, son of MR. BURRILL CLARK of Mecklenburg, was killed in a most 
shocking manner. While driving his team in the woods one of the wagon wheels 
struck a dead sapling, part of which fell and struck him on the head, and 
stunned his so as nearly to knock him off his horses -- before he recovered  
his horse became frightened at another part of the tree which fell among them, 
and ran off, and in their careen through the woods his head was dashed against 
a number of trees so that his skull was literally mashed to pieces.
