1846 An arrow piercing a heart
This was a serious day to me, I took
my ax and went into the woods to cut
some board timber in company with
two other brethren while falling the
third tree I steped back from the
tree several feet but when it fell it
shot back of[f] the stump several feet
& bounded and struck me in the brea-
st & knocked me several feet into the air
