Greenfield, Mass
Monday, 16 January 1860

         The following is one among numerous heart-
       rending incidents described: MARGARET HAMILTON,
       aged 14, was doing her first day's work in the
       mills, and had commenced in the spooling room.
       A devoted mother attended her, and when asked
       what injuries her daughter had received she
       replied: "Her arm is broken, and her head is
       broken, and oh! my God, (and here the poor
       woman burst into a flood of tears,) my poor
       darling is all broken!" The unfortunate girl
       died on Wednesday. The name of her mother is
       MARY ANN HAMILTON. The daughter was the main
       support of her mother and four younger children.
       MRS. HAMILTON has lived in Lawrence since
       August last.
       
       (MARGARET HAMILTON was severely injured in
        the Pemberton Mill disaster on 10 January 1860)
