"On Saturday afternoon, July 19, 1817, 69-year-old Squire Hunter left his house and walked to the barn to mount his horse. There was a loud explosion and a flash of light behind him. Hunter thought he had been struck by lightning. His daughters rushed out to find their father on the ground, bleeding from a bullet wound to his back, right above his left hip. He was taken inside the house and the girls called for help. A search in the vicinity turned up an old musket hidden in nearby bushes from where the shot was fired. But otherwise, there was no trace of the person who had laid in wait and pulled the trigger. Squire Hunter lingered several days, but the damage was beyond repair by 19th-Century doctors. He died the following Monday and was buried in the burying ground at the Newtown Square Quaker Meeting house." (see source posted here)
