Aden was a preacher/farmer who was killed in a tragic accident. He was returning home from a mill with a sled. A portion of a tree that had "lost it's top" fell across the sled, crushed Aiden, killing him. I was fortunate to get a copy of his sister's account of family history. She was Mary Antrim Roberts.^[2]
