The Somerset Herald: (Somerset, Pa.) August 23, 1876
James Twigger, a lad of nine years, was struck by lightning and instantly killed at
Irwin Station, Westmoreland Co., shortly after five o’clock Friday evening. In
company with two young companions, he was playing on the Pennsylvania Railroad track
directly opposite the Irwin Foundry when the electric fluid descended, striking him
and his companions. Young Twigger was instantly killed by the bolt and the other two
lads were rendered insensible but will recover. The lads parents reside at Irwin.
