Necker, 18th District.-Last Monday after.
noon this section of the county was visited by
terrific thunder storm that drove the farmers
from their fields and caused all to seek shelter.
During its progress a bolt of lightning struck
the chimney of Mr.. George Westerman's house
and descending to the kitchen, where Mrs.
Westerman was engaged in preparing the eve
ming meal, struck her on both shoulders and
she fell to the floor dead before her husband
who was only few feet from her, could reach
her. Mr.. Westerman lifted her tenderly to a
couch and telephoned for DR.. Lingard /.
Whiteford and Rev. Father Camp. They
both responded promptly but of course could
do nothing. This sad and sudden death shock
ed the entire community and much sympathy
is expressed for the bereaved families. Mrs.
Westerman was the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Gerst. She was % years OF age
and had not long been married.
For the past two weeks we have experienced
electric storms nearly every day, accompanied
by much rain and last Saturday we had plenty
of hail, but not enough to do any damage.
So much rain has seriously interfered with all
outdoor work.
The farmers are putting in succession of
crops and are working early and late when the
weather will permit. The crop prospect gen.
orally is encouraging.
Mr. Jacob Deter has completed handsome
cottage for himself on the old site and few
evenings ago he Hospitality entertained a
number OF his friends. The affair was a very
happy and enjoyable one.
Mr.. Edward Waldmann. proprietor of the
hotel here has introduced telephone and it
is proving great convenience to the people.
