Surnames: Davis, Byington Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hkB.2ACE/6065 Message Board Post: Cameron Herald, Thur., 20 Aug 1903 Deaths - James T. Davis and Harry Byington were killed near Sherman last week by lightning. Jeff Davis was struck by the same bolt but after a few hours he recovered. The man who was brought from death to life says he, with James Davis and Byington had been working in a hay field when the rain came up and they ran into the barn for shelter. They had not been there for more than a minute or two when it seemed to him that the whole face of the earth was filled with a blue light and he knew no more. He did not remember experiencing any pain, just the sensation of sinking and then darkness.
