Gettysburg Compiler (Gettysburg, Pennsylvania)
May 22, 1822
Williamsport, Pa, April 23
On the evening of the 17th of April, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a hemlock tree was fractured by a violent gust of wind and the top, which had broken off, in its descent, fell upon the house of Mr. Morris Zuber, of Delmar township, Tioga county, Pennsylvania. It broke through the roof and upper floor, and killed Mr. Zuber, his wife, and a grandson. The sculls of the two latter were fractured, and they expired instantaneously; but Mr. Z. lingered about twelve hours vomiting blood. His daughter, (wife of Mr. Morris Miller), exhibited great presence of mind, in helping him from under the timber which was heaped upon him, in extinguishing the flames which had been kindled by the fuel falling from above into the fire - in returning to the assistance of her father, holding him to bed, and then proceeding through the woods to a neighbor's for assistance. The family have been four years and a half from Germany, and Mr. Z. has left one son and three daughters, two of whom are married, to lament this awful dispensation.
