The other man was about 60. Rescuers called at 12:15 p.m. that day found the men entangled in tree debris.
Morrill says the birch tree was about 10 inches in diameter. Both men were taken to Huggins Hospital in Wolfeboro and later taken to other hospitals.
The condition of the 60-year-old man was not immediately known Tuesday.
State emergency officials say they had not received word of any other storm-related deaths.
