The Pittsburg Gazette, October 14, 1806

On Wednesday the 1st Inst., a melancholy and distressing accidend befel
Mr. William Irwin of this Borough.  Driving a team down a hill near this 
place, he fell and the wagon wheel ran over his leg and fractures it in a 
most shocking manner.  He suffered excrutiating pain until the following 
Saturday, when he expired, a mortification having previously taken place. 
Mr. Irwin was in the forty fourth year of his age.  He has left a widow and 
six small children to lament the loss of a tender husband, and an affectionate
and indulgent parent.  He always sustained the character of an honest man, 
and possessed a most benevolent heart and friendly disposition.  His remains 
were interred on Sunday morning in the Presbyterian church yard, attended
by a numerous concourse of citizens.
