The Landmark of Statesville, N.C. -May 1, 1885
May 1, 1885, The Landmark of Statesville, N.C.
 
WILLIAM WILSON, a young farmer of Pitt County met his death in a singular 
manner on the 22nd ult. He went out hunting, taking his five-year-old boy with 
him. Returning home, Wilson was standing in the house leaning on his gun and 
talking to the family while the little boy played with the hammer of the gun. 
The weapon discharged, the entire load entering William's mouth, tearing away 
the entire top of his head and causing instant death.
