Thunder Storm Ravages Danville Area and Nearby Farms
A February thunder storm caused farm and property damage across Mt Vernon, Danville and Martinsburg areas. A barn belonging to John Wander was destroyed by lightning near Danville, with neighbors unable to stop the fire. Three cows were killed by lightning at Martinsburg a few hours later, two owned by George Popham and one by Harry Dean. A tree at Gambler academy grounds was struck and split, but broader damage in Mt Vernon was minimal, leaving War gardens seemingly unscathed.
