David Adams
Republican Compiler (Gettysburg, Pennsylvania October 11 1826
Beaver, Pa., Sept. 28
Melancholy accident
On Sunday the 17th instant, Mr. David Adams of North Beaver township, aged near seventy years, was left by his daughter alone sitting before the fire. She was absent but a few minutes when she returned she found the old man had pitched forward from his chair into the fire, his face in contact with the blaze. She instantly pulled him from the fire and immediately discovered that the vital spark had forever taken its flight from its clayey tenement. It is not known whether he was taken with an apoplectic fit or whether he had fainted. Mr. Adams was an early settler in North Beaver township and a respectable citizen.

Death of the Auditor General Elect of Pennsylvania
New Brighton, PA, Nov. 5 Col. David Stanton, Auditor General elect, of this state, died suddenly at his residence in this place at one o'clock this morning. He had been suffering for day or two with "herpes" in the face, causing him much pain. Last evening about seven o'clock, he injected a small quantity of morphine into his arm for the purpose of quieting the pain, which had become very sever. Sleep ensued, from which his wife found it impossible to arouse him. The doctor used every effort to bring about a reaction, without permanent effect. It is the opinion of the physicians that in marking the injection of the morphine, he punctured a blood vessel, which owing to the peculiar state of the system, was the immediate cause of his death.
