Lightning Kills Two Girls at Lutheran Church
A Sunday storm struck the Lutheran church near South Whitley as a lightning bolt hit the steeple and swept the crowded audience, instantly killing two girls aged twelve and fourteen, both daughters of local farmers John Trier and Christian Hockemeyer. A Brueggman girl was knocked unconscious but is expected to recover.
