Lightning Strike - Norwich Sun, July 3, 1914
Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]: Mrs. C.W. Halsey had a very narrow escape from death by lightning when on the way to the Searles-Davis wedding recently. Mr. and Mrs. Halsey were driving and were over taken by a storm on Searles' Hill. The horse became frightened by the storm and while trying to alight from the carriage, Mrs. Halsey seemed enveloped in flame by those watching her. She felt a severe pain in her knees at the time and since then has felt a slight numbness in her arm. The ruffle was completely severed from her silk skirt. Not a vestige of the silk stitching which fastened the ruffle to the skirt was to be found. Although there was a terrific clash of thunder, Mrs. Halsey did not hear a sound of it. She was able to play the wedding march at the service a half hour later.
