. 1819 March 18th. Portland Maine. MELANCHOLY CIRCUMSTANCE:
On Wed. the 17th inst. a Mr. Tarbox & his wife who resided on a gore of land between Raymond & Standish, were frozen to death. Their family consisting of 4 small children the youngest at the breast.
Being in very necessitous circumstances, Mr. T. started on Wednesday, during the violence of the gale & drifting snow, to procure some aid from the neighbors, about 5 miles distant. Having obtained a supply for their immediate wants, he placed it in a bag & proceeded for home. It seems however that, when within about one mile of his house the weight of his load compelled him to live it upon a tree & endeavor to reach his distressed family without it - but his efforts were in this also frustrated - overpowered with fatigue, he stopped about 80 rods from his house & cried for help - his wife hearing the voice went to his assistance, It is presumed, from the circumstance of finding her cloak & handkerchief upon the man, her pressing wants induced her to leave him & hasten to procure the provisions. But all! her strength did not equal her resolution - she expired in the effort & her body was found but a short distance from the provisions her partner had placed upon the tree. On the day following, the eldest child went out & found her father's corpse & returned to the house & commenced sounding a horn, used for calling distance workmen to their mess; this however brought no one to their assistance through the day - but the continuance of the sound on the succeeding day led a number to the spot to witness this shocking affair & to the relief of a family who had remained 3 days without sustenance.
