WORCESTER, MASS.; PRINTED AT THE PRIVATE PRESS OF THE AUTHOR. 1894. page 125 ACCIDENTAL EVENTS. Accidents are not without cause, but they belong to that class of events that occur before the cause which produces them is known; and in some instances no satisfadlory cause is ever fully demonstrated so as to be comprehended by all minds alike. Only such accidents as have resulted in death are here recorded, and probably some have been omitted through necessary reliance upon tradition. Squire Buss Sen. was killed at the raising of Baxter Hall's house, in 1798. This house was afterwards owned and occupied by Charles H. Denison.

When the Hall-Denison house was being raised, in 1798, Squire Bliss Sr. was present and killed, while assisting at the raising; and the same Dr. Denison was killed 32 years after at the raising of a barn.
