On last Wednesday, Martin Smith, son of W. A. Smith, was struck by lightning and killed while in a school room teaching at Brixey in the north part of this county. The school was in session at the time and some 50 pupils were in the school house.
A thunder shower was passing over, and a tree near the school was struck by lightning and at the same time, the electricity came down the flue and struck the teacher killing him instantly. Many of the children were shocked by the stroke but none were seriously injured.
Mr. Smith was an exemplary young man, about 31 years old, just entering upon a life of usefulness. His sudden death has brought sorrow among all his acquaintance, and we deeply sympathize with his parents in their untimely loss.
