While he was hidden in a big shock of corn, to keep dry in a drenching rain
which visited Derry township Saturday afternoon, Harry Alfred Forsha, a well
known farmer of the township was instantly killed when lightning struck the
shock of corn...
Mr. Forsha has lived on the farm, which is known as the "Brindle" farm, for some
time. The farm is on the "detour” back road from Derry to Blairsville and along
the track leading into Millwood Shaft. In 1918, Mr. Forsha lost his wife during
the flu epidemic. He was married less than two weeks ago to Mary L Ragan, who
with four children, survive. The children are Alice G., Edna L., Vernie E. and
Ava M. Mr. Forsha's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jefferson Forsha, also survive as
do the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. John McChesney, of New Derry; Mrs.
Frank Peas, of Tarentum; Mrs George Libengood, of Alliance, Ohio; Mrs. Harry
Forsha, of Wierton; Mrs. Lawrence Bergman, of Blairsville; Addison G., of
Blairsville; Ford P., of Derry township and Ralph H, of Blairsville. Mr. Forsha
was aged 39 years, 9 months and 6 days. Funeral services will be held from his
late residence tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 with interment following in Cole’s
