Jackson News – July 5, 1882
Last Monday, about four miles west of the city, Mrs. Adrian Cope and her little
brother were at work in a field near their house, when a bolt of lightning
struck Mrs. Cope, and also severely shocked the little boy.  The mother of the
lady was near by, and was also knocked down by the lightning, but being but
slightly injured, she went to her daughter, whose hair was set on fire by the
lightning.   She succeeded in putting out the flame.   Mrs. Cope breathed but
once or twice after being struck.   The little boy, we hear, has recovered from
his injuries.
