    3. The Melvern Review Osage County Thursday September 15, 1921 Lightning Kills Mrs. E.B. Morgan. Last Firday morning at 2:30 nearly everyone in town was up closing doors and pulling down windows. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. MORGAN were out on their southwest porch, and while Ed. was looking at the storm Mrs. Morgan stepped out under a tree about twelve feet from the porch to bring in a metal tub. As she stooped to get the tub a bolt of lightning struck her, killing her instantlyh. The crash was so severe that it knocked Ed. down but did not stun him severely, and it made windows rattle in several dwellings in the block. It was a most terrible electrical disturbance.
