Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, August 1, 1907
Lightening Kills Three.
  Mr. James A. Sharp and two little boys were killed by a bolt of lightening at 
Packer's landing in Black's Bend Monday.
  Mr. Sharp had been at work in the field and was accompanied by his little 
grandson, about six years old, and a son of Mr. Peek, about the same age.
  Just about noon a storm came up and Mr. Sharpe with the two boys, took 
shelter in a large hollow tree, and when found, about an hour afterwards, he 
was in a sitting position, with the boys one on each knee and all three dead.
  Mr. Sharp was about sixty years of age and a man highly respected. He leaves 
an invalid wife and a large family of children and other relatives.
