"Killed By Lightning"
Last Sunday week, Mr. George FLINN who resided on the old Ed.MACK farm seven miles southwest of this city, near Arispie,went to Frankfort to visit his father who was very sick. He reached Frankfort just in time to help carry his father into a cyclone cave before the terrible storm of that fatal Sunday struck that town.
On Wednesday Mr. FLINN started for home. At Wheaton he met some of his neighbors, Will CROSSNICKLE and Tiff WRIGHT, and after a short conversation proceeded on his way toward home. This was late in the afternoon.
Half an hour after he left Wheaton, Mr. GROSSNICKLE and Mr.WRIGHT started for home on the same road. When they reached a point about half way home, and near the John LEE farm, they discovered the horse and cart of George FLINN standing in the road with Mr. FLINN stooping forward hanging down from the cart. On examination he was found to be dead., killed by a stroke of lightning. From the marks on the body, the current struck him on the top of the head, where an aperture from which blood oozed out was discovered, and followed the spine
until it struck the cart. One of the shills was broken, and the horse, uninjured, had turned about and stood facing the cart and his dead driver.
The remains were removed first to the house of Will CLARK
where they were partially prepared, and afterward to his home where his grief-stricken wife and four children awaited the object of their sorrow.
During his absence the news of the terrible storm which
visited Frankfort had reached Mrs. FLINN, and produced a condition of anxiety impossible to describe. But before the remains were brought to the residence and before she knew of his death, three ladies of the neighborhood went to the house and broke the sad intelligence to her as gently as they could.
On Wednesday night a casket was obtained in this city, funeral services were held at the house Thursday morning early, and the remains were taken to Frankfort for interment.
Deceased was about 45 years of age, and left a wife and five children to mourn his sudden taking off. One son is in Indian, and two sons and two daughter are with their mother. They have the sympathy of all in their neighborhood in this severe affliction.
