Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Robinson of the Town of Mishicot almost lost their
lives in a barn fire in the Town of Mishicot Saturday morning. The barn
was struck by lightning while they were inside at an early hour. Mrs.
Robinson was engaged in milking close between two of the cows when the
strike came and Mrs. Robinson had just closed the barn door and came
back inside. Both were knocked down by the bolt and were unconscious.
There was no one near to render assistance but after a short time,
Robinson recovered consciousness when much of the barn was already
wrapped in flames. He immediately went to his wife's assistance. He
picked her up for dead between the cows which had been killed but had
fortunately fallen outward instead of toward each other or they would
have crushed the woman. After working over Mrs. Robinson a few minutes
she began to show signs of returning life and Robinson rushed back into
the burning barn to save something. He succeeded in getting the horse to
the door when it tore away and went back to it's death and all he was
able to save was a harness. With the barn all of the season's crops were
destroyed and also four cows and a horse. The barn was insured but the
contents not and the loss is a severe one. Mr. Robinson sustained bad
burns on his arm and hand. Mrs. Robinson also shows burns on her head
and face. For a time, it was feared she had lost the sight of one eye.
They had a successful harvest and planned to do their threshing today.
Had Robinson remained unconscious a short time longer both could have
lost their lives.
