The Weekly Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. June 28, 1892
Knoxville, Ga., June 22. -- The little twelve-year old daughter of Mr. John 
Bentley, who lives a few miles west of here, was struck and instantly killed by 
lightning late yesterday evening.  She and her little brother had been playing 
out in the yard, and she had just taken a seat on the flower step that had been 
placed under the tree.  The bolt struck the tree, and ranged downward to the 
ground.  She did not come in actual contact with the stroke, but the shock was 
so great that her nature could not overcome it.  The little boy was badly 
shaken up, but recovered from the shock.
