13th of May 1704 the Indians went upon Mount Tom and observed the situation of the place. As the meadow was then covered by water, they supposed the village could be taken and that no aid could come seasonably from the town on account of the intervening flood. A little before daylight the Indians attacked. The people surrendered, and all of the families [Moses Hutchinson, John Searl, Benoi Jones, Samuel Janes] were killed or taken prisoners.

In the past year, over 800,000 Americans have died. Despite millions of dollars of research, death continues to be our nation's number one killer. Although, so far there's no known treatment for death's crippling effects, still everyone can acquaint himself with the three early warning signs of death: one, rigor mortis; two, a rotting smell; three, occasional drowsiness. It is also important to know what to do you when you die. 1) Don't try to drive a car. 2) Do not operate heavy machinery. 3) Do not talk. -Henry Gibson: Himself (segment "United Appeal for the Dead "), The Kentucky Fried Movie
