The Cambria Freeman. (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938 April 1, 1869

Mr. David Evans, carpenter of this place, met with a painful accident and made a
narrow escape from death on Saturday afternoon last. A fellow workman who was
employed in the upper portion of the new Catholic church,  accidentally let a
hatchet slip from his hand, and Mr. Evans, hearing the noise, looked up, when the
blade of the hatchet struck him on the chin, inflicting a very ugly gash and almost
severing the chin from the lower lip. Had not Mr. E. looked up, the hatchet would
doubtless have struck him on the head, and fatal injury would probably have been the
result. His wound was properly attended to by Dr. Lemmon.
