Mr.. Andrew Walton informs
US that tenant upon his place in
the 14th district a few days ago
found in a field a piece of tin, about
two by three feet, painted on one
side, with two apertures five and
seven inches. The tin, MIR. Wal
ton thinks, was part of roof of
some building i'll the track of the re-
cent electric storm that destroyed
LAGRANGE. Speaking Of electric
storms, Mr.. Walton became remi-
niscent. In 1885 his parents NOV
ed from Davidson to Hardeman
County and located four miles south
of Toone, where Mr.. Walton now
lives. In 1851 a terrible storm
passed through this county and his
fathers residence was in its wake.
At the time mentioned, his father,
mother and one sister were at home.
In attempting to lower window,
his father was struck by lightning
and instantly killed, and his moth
er and sister were severely shocked.
The bolt which killed the father,
set fire to the residence. As soon
as she regained consciousness, Miss
Walton with a broom and pan of
water extinguished the flames. The
charred and blackened logs can be
seen to-day and are testimonial of
the awful catastrophe. The resi-
dence was built in 1925 and is one
of the oldest in the county.
