News Item

A case of death by lightning of a peculiarly painful nature we learn occurred near Cooperstown in Otsego County [NY] on Saturday last.  The person killed was a young man, aged about 21, named James Eaton, brother-in-law of Mr. William C. Wait, Jr. of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY].  His father had recently disposed of his property in Otsego and with his family, including the young man, was intending to start for the West on Monday. The circumstances of his death are briefly as follows.  Mr. Wait, the brother-in-law, arrived at the house about 1 o'clock on Saturday, during the storm, on a visit to his wife and the family.  His horse was taken by the young man, who placed him in the stable and was just stepping out of the barn door when he was struck by the lightning and instantly killed, as was the horse of Mr. Wait.  Two sisters of the deceased, young ladies, have also within a short time been snatched from the embraces of the bereaved family by the unrelenting hand of death.  Norwich Journal
