The Freeze boys were felling a tree, while their father was a short distance below them hewing ties on the steep mountain side. After the boys had worked at the tree for some time it was about ready to fall and as it started they called to their father to get out of danger. The elder Freeze realizing that to remain where he was meant he would be struck by the falling tree, made frantic efforts to extricate himself from the thick underbrush that was about him. In these efforts precious moments were lost and as the tree came down the top limbs struck Mr. Freeze a crushing blow on the side of the head, fracturing his skull and otherwise injuring him severely about the head. The blow was of such force as to render him unconscious from the first and in that condition he remained until his death about seven o'clock Tuesday morning. Mr. Freeze had lived all his life in the Newport section, his home being near the foot of the Massanutton and his living came chiefly from handling the raw material that came out of the mountain. He was industrious and had a large family, composed of a wife and five of six children, his wife being a daughter of the late Jackson Alger of that section. Though inured of the hardships of life, he had struggled hard in acquiring his humble mountain home and was known to almost everybody in Shenandoah Iron Works District. The funeral took place on Wednesday at 2 o'clock from his late home, the burial taking place in the family graveyard near his home. He was about forty-seven years of age and is survived by one brother, Hubert Freeze, and two sisters, Mrs. Charles Duncan who lives near the Intersection on the Lee Highway, five miles west of Luray, and Mrs. Phonie Campbell, who lives near Harrisonburg. He also leaves his aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Freeze.
