Ludlow, VT Fatal Oxcart Accident, Nov 1851

Posted March 1st, 2008 by Linda Horton

Nov. 5, 1851, Mary and Charles, children of Cyrus and Eliza Baker, aged respectively seven and four years, were killed while at play near an ox-cart body that was turned up on the edge. It fell upon them, killing Mary instantly, and injuring Charles so that he lived but three days. Mr. Baker, at that time, lived where Mrs. Ackley now lives, at the Lawrence mill near Grahamsville.
