Deputy Sheriff A.M. Lancaster was killed when he was struck by a falling tree while traveling on official business.
He was riding a sleigh toward Starrucca and was approaching a farmer who was cutting down a chestnut tree. The farmer yelled out to Deputy Lancaster, but it was believed he did not hear the warning due to be being bundled up during the cold weather. As the tree fell it landed on the sleigh and crushed Deputy Lancaster.
Deputy Lancaster was a U.S Army veteran of the Civil War and was survived by his wife, one child, and brother.
