Lineville Headlight
George Burney, a colored man of about 34 years was struck and instantly killed by 
lightning on the farm of George Mitchell. George was a good worker, honest and 
conscientious, and had the respect of white and black. He was working in the 
field when a thundershower came up, and he went into a small shack for shelter. 
He was struck by & bolt of lightning which seared his clothes, scotching his hair 
slightly, but otherwise not disfiguring him. Mr. Hollis Mitchell hearing the 
cries of a small colored boy with the stricken man, hurried to the scene, and 
carried the body to Burney's home.
