The Schoharie Union, Schoharie NY, 08/03/1882: "A curious freak of lightning occurred at the house of Alexander Avery, Centreville, Ala. None of the inmates were killed, but the shoes of each were destroyed. The stroke fell on Miss Josie Avery's neck, and passing down the body threw the shoe from one foot with terrific force a great distance. The shoes on the feet of her mother were cut to pieces, while Mr. Logan, a guest, had his shoestrings torn completely out, the sole of one shoe wrenched off, and a hole torn in the other."
