The Pennsylvania Gazette, Philadelphia, 04 Jul 1745, p3:
From Trenton we hear that on Friday the 21st past, two lads, Benjamin and Severns Albertis, brothers, going in a cano to fish near the Falls, the canoe overset by running against a Log, and the latter was drowned, the other hardly escaping. Great search was made for the body on that and the three following days, by a great number of people in boats and canoes; but to no effect, it being driven down, to the surprize of many, as low as Burlington, and there taken up and interred on Monday.
Burial location inferred so may be wrong.
