Hutchinson, of Archer City, was returning from a visit to friends in Montague County, when a thunder storm caught them in the head of Post Oak creek. W.B. HutchinsonÕs father, mother, sister and a Miss Cox of New Port, accompanied Mrs. Hutchinson and her children. The wagon was struck by lightning, the shock killing Miss Lizzie Hutchinson and Miss Cox and seriously stunning Mrs. Hutchinson. The old gentleman and one of the children were stunned, but soon recovered. The party was moved to the residence of Mr. Cobb where assistance was given. At last accounts it was feared Mrs. Hutchinson could not recover.
