Deadly tragedies and accidents plague memories of day
A Charleston girl reportedly killed herself after falling near a peat bog. In Newcastle Delaware a crowd publicly whipped thieves, with lashings from two to thirty. Various misfortunes follow careless acts: a child burns to death after a cradle fall, a boy is injured by an ax, a horse accident in New Orleans drowns a rider and grandson, and a man hangs himself after threats over mischief. A pioneer dies when a wagon line drags him. several others suffer fatal or near fatal injuries in farming and street incidents across towns. The narrative paints a grim ledger of accidental deaths and suicides tied to negligence and misfortune.
