Ionia Standard-Thursday August 10, 1876

SARANAC
Mr. Corwin Moon, of this place, while engaged in cutting oats on the farm of 
Mr.Stevens some two miles north of here, on Friday last took shelter under an 
oak tree. Mr.John Mills of this place, was with him, but observing a better 
shelter a few rods off, started for it, calling to Moon to follow. He  had 
scarcely reached the desired shelter when he received a terrible shock from 
lightening, and looking around he saw Moon fall. He immediately called for help, 
and Moon was taken to the house. Upon examination the doctors decided that he 
was instantly killed by lightening. He was taken home and was buried on 
Saturday. He leaves a wife and four little children.
