"Killed By Lightning"

We are called upon the record the death, by lightning, of Noah ROBASON 
and Thomas COOK. During the rain of Friday they, in company with six 
other persons, were seated in the piazza of a dwelling some twelve miles 
in the country, when the lightning struck a corner post, instantly 
causing the death of the above-named gentlemen, and stunning two 
others."
