(side 3 of stone) - John Smith, died Oct.10,1866, aged 39 years. ------------------------------------------------ Death Notice - The Perth Courier Newspaper - Issue of October 12, 1866 - On Wednesday afternoon, 10th inst., John Smith, North Sherbrooke, while assisting at a barn rising in Palmerston township, was fatally injured by the falling of a plate which was being elevated to the top of the building when one of the supports gave way and the unfortunate man was struck on the breast and died in about three hours. No blame can possibly be attached to any person as the breaking of the "ball" was an accident as sudden as it was unexpected and but for stumbling over a log which unfortunately happened to be lying in the way, the deceased would doubtless have escaped. His funeral took place on Thursday and it is hardly necessary to remark that this lamentable occurrence has cast a deep gloom over the entire community in which Mr. Smith resided for many years. He was an unmarried man and lived in the house of his father, who yet survives to mourn his loss.
