  	Windsor Review, Windsor MO, Feb 28 1891 - We are sorry to chronicle the death of Mrs. M.

Mrs. Trolinger and two sons, Archie and Sammie, one aged 9 and the brother 16 years, while returning home from her sons J. C. Trolinger. About a half mile from the home of her son, they stopped the team to load the wagon box with a small load of dry wood. Archie began to chop away on a dead tree which the top had broken off, and had been burned partially off at the ground, but he became tired. Mrs. Trolinger took the axe and began to cut and gave only a few strokes when it began to fall. Its course was opposite to what was expected and she ran directly beneath it and was caught under the tree. Archie pulled her from beneath it, and says she breathed a few times. John Jordan, Claud and Willie Foster arrived on the ground in a few minutes, but found Mrs. Trolinger dead, no pulse visible.
