[continuing from associated footnote] ...overturned a dwelling house occupied by a Shattuck family, leaving the lower floor; two children, lying upon a bed asleep, were found uninjured. A Mrs. Saunders, living with the Shattucks, was carried by the violence of the wind to a considerable distance, and was seriously injured. Mrs. Shattuck was blown about ten rods. A feather bed was found three miles distant from the house, and in it were recovered thirty dollars in specie, which had previous been placed there for safe-keeping.
