In the village of Centreville near by, a Mr. Babcock lost two sons, both of whom were buried on the same day. Hazard Burdick lost two daughters, and Dr. Sunderland lost a grown up daughter. Charles Tucker, a young man, who was thought to be convalescent died very suddenly. He was standing at a glass getting ready to go out for 'a walk, when he dropped and died almost instantly.
