CRIPPLED BY BOLT OF LIGHTNING NINE YEARS AGO, GEO. SADUSKY CLAIMED BY DEATH XMAS DAY
MAN OF 21 WHO DIED AT HOSPITAL SATURDAY HAD BEEN HELPLESS INVALID SINCE ACCIDENT IN WHICH FOUR OTHERS MET DEATH AT OLD WEST SIDE BALL PARK DURING THUNDER STORM 9 YRS. AGO
Crippled by a bolt of lightning nine years ago at the time four others were killed outright at the old West Side ball park, and for four years a patient at the hospital, practically helpless, George Sadusky, a South side man, was released by death which came to him Christmas day. The funeral was held today from St. Mary's church.
Sadusky, who was a boy of 12 years at the time of the terrible tragedy when four were killed, three injured and a score stunned by lightning which struck the grand stand in the old ball park during a game on Sunday afternoon, had been partially paralyzed by the bolt and though it was thought at first that he would recover, his condition became worse with passing of time and for four years he had been taken care of at the hospital. The man was unable to walk and had little use of his hands and it was necessary to carry him from one room to another when he was moved. He did not suffer greatly but his injury had stunted his growth and when death came to him Saturday, at the age of 21 years, he retained the appearance in stature of the boy of 12 he was when he was injured.
The tragedy of the Sunday afternoon nine years ago was one of the worst the city has known. A large crowd had assembled for the ball game, the grand stand being well filled when almost without warning the skies were overcast by ominous clouds and there was a sharp flash as the bolt of lightning struck the pillars supporting the stand, ran along the wire netting and dealt death to four persons almost in a second. Two men standing in front of the stand were rendered unconscious while George Kura, who was taking tickets at the stand, was killed outright and three others in the stand were also carried out unconscious, two dying before medical aid could reach them while the third, a Knutzen boy, lingered for a few hours and then passed away.
Young Sadusky was carried to the house of residents near the park and when a physician arrived, was removed to the hospital where he remained for some time. Later it was necessary to have him returned to the hospital to receive care and for four years he had not been outside the institution.
Seven brothers and two sisters survive the dead man, being Michael, Stanley, Edward, John and Anton of this city; Theodore and Matt of Denver; Mrs. Frank Kandarski, to whose home the body was removed, and Miss Mary Sadusky of Chicago.
