JOHN TINSLEY HOUGH (1806-1867): Death From The Falling Of A Tree: Article
'DEATH FROM THE FALLING OF A TREE. — An inquest was held at the residence of Mr. Joseph Cope Page, at Prospect Hill, Woodford Island, on Wednesday last, upon the body of John Tinsley Hough, who had been killed by a tree falling upon his head on the previous afternoon — Malachi Burke deposed: He was a labourer in the employ of Mr. Page; he knew the deceased John Hough; he was working with him on Tuesday, about noon, felling cedar brush, in front of his house; he was falling a tree about twenty yards from the deceased; some trees fell down, and immediately afterwards he heard a son of the deceased calling out that his father was killed; he went to the spot, and saw the deceased in a sitting posture, upon the ground; his head was hanging down, and he was quite senseless; an axe was lying near him; he saw blood running from his mouth and nose, and from a cut on the top of his
head; there was no timber lying upon the body, but he was quite surrounded with fallen wood; deceased was accustomed to falling trees; he was in good health and sober; there were no persons near at the time of the accident, except witness, and two boys, sons of the deceased; he had apparently gone twelve or fifteen yards from the tree he was working at, for the purpose of
avoiding the fallen timber, and must have been struck on the head by the falling limb of a tree; a number of trees often lodge and fall together, rendering it difficult to escape; his left arm was broken, and the skull completely shattered; death must have been instantaneous. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidentally killed by a falling tree." The body was interred at Rocky Mouth on Thursday. — Examiner, August 27'.
