Shot For a Deer -- One of the saddest events in the early history of Ulster was the tragic death of Lockwood, the 19 year old son of Wm. Curry. July 8, 1801, a son of Joseph Smith betook himself to the mountain to watch a deer lick. Some time after Lockwood Curry started out for the same purpose. As he approached through the dense foliage in the dusky light, young Smith supposing the object to be a deer, discharged his rifle and the mark fell to the ground. Smith ran to the spot where the object lay and to his horror and anguish found his friend and companion, bleeding and speechless with a wound through his breast. He was too terrified to render assistance but hastened to alarm the neighbors who rallied and carried Curry home. He lived until the afternoon of the next day.
