Lightning Takes Life
Lust Saturday afternoon ono of
tlioso accidents if accident it may bo
called unforeseen and unavoidable,
that in an instant plunge a happy
home into unspeakable grief, occurred
twelve miles northeast of Alliance when
quick as thought lightning took tho
life of Joseph Albert Heath, sou of
Mrs. V. 13. Heath. He had been
working in the field and on account of
the rain had put his team in the barn,
and was standing in tho door when the
lightning bolt struck, passing down the
end of the barn and through the young
man's body, causing instant death.
The mother and sisters rushed to the
scene and conveyed the lifeless form to
the house, and hastily notified the
neighbors. Soon the telephone wires
bad carried tho sad news throughout
the neighborhood and to town, causing
a pall of grief to settle over the com
munity.
Tho deceased was ig years, C months
and 4 days of age. Ho was a noble
young man aud was most highly re
spected and loved by a largo circle of
acquaintances. who sincerely mourn his
untimely demise. Ho was a member
and treasurer of tho Epwortb League
at Fairview, wheie ho had the confi
dence of all; but it was particularly in
his home, with bis widowed mother,
brother and sisters, that his noble
traits of character were shown, As
one has said, "He was in love with his
mother."
Tho funeral was conducted at the
home on Monday afternoon, the ser
vice being fn charge of Uev. J. L. Val
low, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
church at Alliance, who prenched a
very touching sermon from tho text,
Jesus wept," John 11:35, after which
the remains were interred beside those
of his father in the Libby cemetery.
The concourse of people in attendance
was one of the largest that ever at
tended a funeral in Box Butte county,
testifying to the high esteem in which
the young man was held. Seventy-five
teams were counted, besides which a
number of men attended on horseback.
Besides his mother, a married broth
er, Charles Heath, and five sisters,
Mrs. D. G. Miller of Alliance, Mrs.
Sam Trinkle, Mrs. Ed. Curry and tho
Misses Anna aud Essie Heath, mourn
the loss of one who was the comfort
and joy of his home. We are aware
that in such a time as this words arc
4 inadequate to comfort sorrowing hearts,
but we wish to join the many friends
in an expression- of sincerest sympathy
for the afflicted relatives.
Lawn Social
On Friday evening of this week the
Daughters of Isabella will give a lawn
social on the lawn of Holy Rosary
church. Ice cream aud cake will bo
served. All are invited and a good time
