Marion Herald, July 28, 1887 – pg 4
Mr. THOM ELLIS ROBINSON of near Bexar, this county, was killed by lightning 
together with his horse while on his way to the picnic grounds at Smyrna Church 
on last Saturday.  A heavy cloud coming up he dismounted, taking the saddle 
from off his horse and going under a tree on the roadside for shelter. The 
lighting stuck the trunk of the tree just above his head shivering it to atoms 
and instantly killing both man and horse.
	Mr. ROBINSON was a good citizen of the county and his sudden death is 
mourned by his friends some of whom he had just parted with in the vigor of 
manhood a few hours before.  He leaves a wife and several children, all of whom 
have the sympathy of this entire community.
