Raftsman's Journal. (Clearfield, Pa.) January 27, 1858
George King, a son of Rev. H. G. King, of Aston, aged 14, was fatally injured on the
16th. He was engaged splitting wood, and attempted to expedite his work by boring a
hole into a log, filling it with powder, and blowing it to pieces. He applied a slow
match, but remaining too near, a fragment of the log struck him on the forehead,
over the eyes, inflicted a ghastly wound, from the effects of which he died the next
day.
