KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Absalom Pearce, Residing near Kylertown, Meets a Sad Death While Fishing.
Absalom Pearce, a well known farmer of Cooper township, Clearfield county, residing about one mile from Kylertown, with three of his sons went fishing on Firday to Black Moshannon, and camped in a tent under a large tree near the stream. When the heavy storm of that evening set in they sought shelter in the tent, and had been there only a little while when a bolt of lightning struck the tree under which their tent stood, and taking a downward course, made a victim of the aged father, killing him instantly. One of the sons was also stunned and remained unconscious for awhile. The deceased was aged about 63 years, and leaves to mourn his sad death his wife and four sons and two daughters. He was an uncle of our townsman, Alex Pearce. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, with Interment in the Advent cemetery near Kylertown.
