I have no connection at all to these families but found this while doing other research.
It appeared in the Feb. 4, 1858 issue of the Rockland (Maine) Gazette:
"On Friday last, as Mr. Ephraim Call of Hermon, was returning from the woods with his
son, a boy about eleven years of age, the latter stopped a few minutes where two men were
engaged in felling trees, while the father proceeded on. In about five minutes he was
overtaken with the sad intelligence that a falling tree had struck his son on the head,
rending him insensible. The lad lived only about six hours."
