MIDDLESWART deaths
From the Pomeroy Weekly Telegraph, April 24, 1860
Sad Affair
A sad accident occurred on Thursday afternoon, the 12th
inst.,
resulting in the death of William Smart, son of Caleb Smart,
of this
place, and Miss Martha Cable, daughter of Mrs. Smart by a
former
husband. In company of Miss Rhoda Church, they were in a
skiff pleasure
riding, when by some means the boat upset. Miss Church held
on to the
craft, and was finally rescued, but her companions above
named, perished
before relief could be afforded. Their bodies have not yet
been
recovered. The sudden death of these interesting young people
has
thrown a gloom over a large circle of friends and
acquaintances, and has
left a void in the home of their parents which will be filled
no more on
earth.
