Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

We are called upon to notice the death of one of the oldest and most respectable citizens in this section of our state, produced under circumstances the most painful and revolting. Mr. Wm. Sheroon, residing about four miles east of Dexeter, in Scott county, left his house on Monday noon, for the purpose of felling timber, and not returning at night, suspicions were awakened that an accident had befallen him; the family and friends went to search, and at about nine o’clock, he was found, his head, one arm and leg torn from his body by the swine-his head a considerable distance from his body-so mutilated as hardly to be recognized as human. It is supposed that he was crushed to death by a falling tree and as a small limb was found running nearly through his body. His remains were interred on Tuesday and attended by a large concourse of relatives and acquaintances.-Morgan Journal.
