On Wednesday July twentieth at three fifty o'clock in the afternoon Mrs. Abbie List Lubbehusen of Litchville North Dakota was killed by lightning at the home of a friend in Marion, North Dakota. The sad news of her sudden death cast a shadow over the town of Litchville and the telegram bringing the news brought sorrow to the hearts of relatives and many friends in Granville and Alton.

Death came without warning and ruthlessly struck down his victim. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lubbehusen and their son Raymond, living at Litchville, attended a picnic at Marion last week Wednesday. Young Raymond is a member of the Litchville band which furnished music for the picnic at Marion and his parents accompanied him. The Lubbehusen family were guests at the John Shinniger home picnic day. The family enjoyed dinner there and at half past three in the afternoon Mrs. Lubbehusen had again gone to the Shinniger home to rest and partake of lunch. After lunch as they were getting ready to go back to the picnic grounds lightning struck the house passing through and striking Mrs. Lubbehusen on the back while she was stooping over, killing her instantly. Mr. and Mrs. John Shinniger and daughter and Mrs. John Hemmer and daughter and two lady friends of Mrs. Shinniger were also in the house and with the exception of Mrs. Hemmer--who was slightly burned on the back of the neck by the bolt--no other injury was done--the house was not damaged in the least.

Thursday morning the remains were taken to Litchville, the home of the deceased, where services were held at St. Mary's Catholic church at ten a.m. conducted by Father Kleidon after which the body was taken to Granville Iowa by Mr. Lubbehusen and the young son for interment in the List family lot in St. Joseph's cemetery.

Mrs. Abbie List Lubbehusen was born in Jo Daviess county Illinois on the sixteenth of March 1876 and was therefore thirty-four years and four months and four days old when struck down. Her parents moved to Sioux county in 1884 making their home on what is now the beautiful List farm near Granville. Deceased was united in marriage to J. H. Lubbehusen in Remsen on February twenty-second 1896 and to this union two children were born, one dying in infancy. Some eight years ago the Lubbehusens moved to Litchville where Mr. Lubbehusen had purchased land. Mrs. Abbie List Lubbehusen was the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John List who had retired from the farm and was a highly respected family of Granville.

Deceased is survived by her husband, son Raymond, her parents and three sisters and four brothers; Mrs. Jake Minton of Alton, Mrs. George Callenius, Miss Josie, Jake, John, Theodore and Joseph.

The funeral services were held from St. Joseph's Catholic church of Granville on Saturday afternoon July twenty-third. Interment was made in St. Joseph's cemetery.

MRS. LUBBEHUSEN KILLED BY LIGHTNING AT MARION:

Wife of our Popular Auctioneer Instantly Killed While Attending Woodmen Celebration at Neighboring Town Wednesday Afternoon.
All Shocked by News of Dreadful Happening.

Shortly before six o'clock Wednesday evening a telephone message brought the shocking news to this village that Mrs. J. H. Lubbehusen had been killed by lightning at Marion. The news quickly spread though the city and brought dismay and consternation to all.

Mr. and Mrs. Lubbehusen and son Raymond left in their automobile Wednesday forenoon for Marion to attend the Woodmen celebration in that city. The afternoon was hot and sultry and Mrs. Lubbehusen spent part of the time at the Schenecker home. Shortly before supper time a thunder storm passed over the village accompanied by a light shower of rain. This cloud sent the fatal bolt that ended the earthly life of Mrs. Lubbehusen.

Several versions of the tragedy are current but the most reliable one seems to be that she was sitting a short distance from the telephone when the lightning struck, evidently in some neighboring telephone pole followed the wire into the building and wrought its dreadful work. Nothing in the house was damaged and only a big blue mark showed on the victim's chest. The death was almost instantaneous.
The deceased was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church and services were conducted here by Father Kleidon at 10 a.m. Thursday morning after which the body was shipped on the afternoon train for burial at her old home at Alton, Iowa.

Mr. and Mrs. Lubbehusen have been residents of this vicinity for about eight years, that last two at their new home have a mile north of town. A complete obituary will be found in our next week's issue.
