The house of Bosile D. Doucette, a merchant of Little Brook, Clare was struck by lightning, the fluid entering the chimney, which it demolished as well as the cooking stove in the kitchen below, and also doing other damage. None of the inmates of the house were injured. >From the Baptist paper: Messenger and Visitor: 1898, August 31st issue
