Georg Patterson Sworn Says on yesterday Evening my son George and I were cutting a pine tree when the tree fell, the top fell in a path leading to the spring, some little time after the tree fell, some one called out and said Elliott was killed the voice proved to be deceased younger brother, the thicket was too dence [sic] for us to see the children in the path. I feel shore [sic] they were passing along, when the tree fell but were not aware of the danger they were in. When I went to the top of the tree, I there found deceased in a sitting postition leaning against a limb entirely dead. My Son George took deceased up and carried him to his Mother, Margaret Hutchison.
