“One day a man was putting down a gate and he had to dig a piece of a fort for to build the wall to hang the gate.”
One day a man was putting down a gate and he had to dig a piece of a fort for to build the wall to hang the gate. When he had the wall built and the gate hanging thoy fell again he built it again and he went to his dinner. When he came back from his dinner the wall was knocked and the gate was gone and when he went near the wall it fell on him and broke his leg and he was thrown over the wall three times and on the third time he was thrown twice as high and twice as far and fell in the ground he did not know where he was. When the woman of the house came she brought him to the house and he was brought to hospital and he died a few days after. 5-10-38.
