John J. Ten Eick

Antimasonic Telegraph, August 11, 1830

 

Death By Lightning:  On the evening of Sunday the 25th ult.  John J. Ten Eick was found dead in a field near his house, in Davenport [Delaware Co., NY], in this county.  Circumstances leave no doubt but the deceased came to his death by lightning.  The facts, as we have heard them, are briefly these:  Late in the afternoon of that day, Mr. Ten Eick took his bridle in his hand and went into the field for the purpose of bringing a horse from the pasture.  A heavy shower occurred during his absence, and he not returning, his friends went in pursuit and found him as above stated, lying on his face, under a tree evidently shattered by lightning a few minutes before. The electric fluid had passed down the tree, through the hat of Mt. T. leaving a small hole in the corner of the hat, and down his body to the ground, tearing the sole of one of his shoes in its passage.  No external mark of violence was discoverable on his body.  Mr. Ten Eick had been at different times supervisor of the town in which he resided, and was highly respected and esteemed by his acquaintance.  His sudden death is a source of sincere regret to his fellow citizens.  --Delaware Gazette.

 

Lucia Child

Antimasonic Telegraph, September 1, 1830

 

Died in Preston [Chenango Co., NY], on Saturday last, Lucia, daughter of Waldo Child, aged 14 years.  She lingered with a most distressing illness of about a year, which she bore with Christian patience, and longed for the time when her hour of departure should come. Thus has this interesting youth been cut down before her sun had reached its meridian, but not until she warned her friends to live in accordance with the laws of God, that they might inherit eternal life.
