MAN, WIFE AND CHILD
KILLED BY FLASH

MONROE, Ga, May 1-During a thun-
der storm here yesterday afternoon light
ming struck the home of NJ. B. Barrett,
on the plantation of Thomas Darby, four
miles southeast of Monroe, and instantly
killed Mr.. Barrett, his wife and their six
teen-year old daughter.
Their thirteen-year-old son, who hap
pened to be in nearby room, was rem
dered insensible by the shock.
When the fash came Mr.. and Mrs. Bar
rett and their daughter were presuma-
bly, on the front veranda, as that was
where they were found when the storm
subsidized. Mr.. Barrett was horribly
burned by the lightning.
Mr. Barrett was son of the late DIR.
Barrett. one of the best known physicians
of the county in his day. He was a broth
er of B. r. Barrett. a prominent mer-
chant and cotton buyer of Monroe, and
w. B. and Charles Barrett of Jersey,
Ga, and was 40 years Oh age.
His wife was the daughter of Mr.. Dial,
a we'll known planter of Walton county.
Both were members of Corinth Christian
church in the western section of the coun-
~ and their funeral and that of their
daughter will be preached at that place
today.
The interment will be in the church
yard cemetery and the three bodies will
be deposited in the same grave.
The Barrett home from the time of the
accident until late last night was visited
by curious crowds
Mr.. and Mrs. Barrett leave three other
children, the one shocked and whom it
was believed would die. aged Is. one nine,
a baby and one aged eleven.
The only damage to the building was
the tearing off of the top of the chimney,
a two-foot streak down across the shin
giles and the shattering of a considerable
place in the porch about where the vic
Tins of the stroke were standing.

Batesole over the head with crow

the victim fingered between life and
death, during which Slycourt fed.

fruitless. The most prominent people
