Barn Struck By Lightning
On April 28, 1956 at 7:45 p.m. lightning struck a barn just off Route 641, west of Green Spring. Upon arrival of the Newville firemen the barn was well involved and the Vigilant Hose Company was summoned at 8:00 p.m. to assist. The barn was destroyed and five head of milk cattle, a young calf, and one bull were killed. Also lost in the blaze were a tractor, corn planter, wagon, and a plow along with other items. An adjoining shed was also destroyed. The Vigilant’s were on the scene for about 15 minutes and the Newville Company remained on the scene until 11:00 p.m. Damages were estimated at $12,000.
