The Brewster Gazette Thomas County Thursday October 2, 1890 Struck By Lightening. Last Friday afternoon, during a thunderstorm, near Muldrow, the 12 year old daughter and a 5 year old son of Mr. FORD, were on their way home from school. A flash of lightening struck and killed the girl, and knocked the little boy down. The boy got up and tried to get his sister to go home with him, not realizing she was dead. He then went home and told his parents that his sister was laying in the road and would not get up. The father went and found his daughter dead. The funeral was held last Sunday.
