Weekly Republic, Springfield, OH
A bolt from Heaven causes the instant death of Isaac Milton COLLISON of 
Lawrenceville. Parties from German township today report the instant death of 
Isaac M. COLLISON, an old citizen of that part of the county, from a stroke of 
lightning. Mr COLLISON was a farmer living a mile and a half southwest of 
Lawrenceville on the Troy Pike. Yesterday afternoon he was helping Victor 
HINKLE, a neighbor, living on the Jonathan KITCHEN farm, plant his corn. About 
3 pm, a storm came up and putting his sack of corn on his shoulder, COLLISON 
started for shelter, in climbing a fence, he rested his head for a moment 
against a small tree and that instant the Bolt came, striking the tree and the 
current passing from that to his body transfixing him on the spot. Mr. 
HINKLE's four year old son, Raymond, was under the tree and was stunned by the 
shock, but managed to yell lustily calling his father to the spot. COLLISON 
was just breathing his last gasp, on examining the body it was found that the 
bolt had taken effect on the left side of the head, behind the ear, running 
down the leg, ripping his trousers open and tearing away the boot.
