Killed By Lightning- Beckwith Township August 1916
During the electrical storm of Tuesday afternoon Eric Campbell, son of John Campbell of Beckwith, was killed by lightning. He and his father were out repairing a fence and when the storm broke Mr. Campbell senior went to the house while the young man took refuge under a big basswood tree. Lightning struck the tree and he was found a short distance away lying face downward quite dead. One boot was ripped apart and the lace in the other cut to pieces. He was a fine young man 19 years old, and there is great sorrow in the whole neighborhood over his tragic death.
CAMPBELL In Beckwith township, on Tuesday, August 22nd– 1916, Eric Campbell aged 19 years
