Snuff Out the Life of Martin Dye, Of Harrisonville

Monday afternoon, while the thunderstorm was going on, a bolt of lightning 
struck Martin DYE dead, in a field on his farm two miles west of 
Harrisonville.

His lifeless body was found sometime later, and it was not at first apparent 
what had caused his death. Coroner McCULLOUGH was summoned, and 
investigation disclosed that the bolt had entered the top of the head and 
passed down through the body. Death was undoubtedly instantaneous.

Mr. DYE was aged about 37. He leaves a wife, whose maiden name was Lena 
MUSSER, also three children. He was a son of the late Andrew DYE and brother 
of Harry DYE, employed at the Ellis Clothing store, in this city.

Deceased was a fine young man, industrious and exemplary in conduct, of whom 
we once heard a lady remark that she considered him "the best boy in Meigs 
county." He indeed, stood well in all respects in his home community.
