Augustus Evernham dies, 1852
New Jersey Mirror 3 Jun 1852 On Friday morning the 21st ult., a colored man named Augustus Evernham, in the employ of Robert Woodward, living near Arneytown, went to the woods to cut down trees. As he did not return in the evening, Mr. Woodward went in search of him the next morning, and found his body lying by the only tree he had cut. This tree in falling, had broken a limb from a tree standing near, which limb had fallen on the head of the colored man and killed him--probably instantly. A knot on the limb had gone into his brain.
