Concerning the destruction at John Lucke's there were many conflicting reports. The first was that Mrs. Lucke and her brother were killed. The next report was that Mr. Lucke and his brother-in-law were killed and Mrs. Lucke and her daughter badly hurt. The first reports seems to have been the correct one.
