DIED - Suddenly, on Monday, February 15th, THOMAS, eldest son of 
Charles R. and Mary Ann M'Crea, aged 10 years, 5 months and 15 days. 
The death by drowning of this promising boy comes to the bereaved 
parents, who parted with  him full of life and health and spirits to 
receive in a brief hour his cold and pallid corpse, with all its 
crushing force increased by the reflection, that two years have not 
elapsed, since they were called to mourn the death by fire of a younger 
and much loved son.

Democratic Standard, Hollidaysburg, Pa., Wednesday, February 17, 1847
