The Jackson Weekly Citizen
Tuesday, 21 September, 1869

         The St. Louis, Gratiot county Journal has this item:
       "A boy, aged ten or twelve years, whose parents reside
       in Newark, accidentally shot himself while out hunting,
       about a mile and a half west of Pompeii, on Monday last.
       He was found dead in the woods on Tuesday morning. The
       charge entered the mouth, shattering the chin and lower
       jaw, and passed out the back of the head. The boy was
       the son of Mr. TIMOTHY PRESSLEY.
       
       Transcriber's Note: The boy's name, according to the 1870
       Census Mortality Schedule of Gratiot county, was CHARLES
       N., and he was 13 years of age. He is buried in Ithaca
       cemetery.
