Lightning Strikes Barn
On June 28, 1940 just after noon lightning struck the John Plasterer barn at Shippensburg R.R. 3 sending firemen racing to the scene. The large barn 85 by 65 feet and three stories high was destroyed along with 16 loads of new hay and a number of small tools and a hog shed were all lost. Firemen were able to save all the other nearby buildings. A damage estimate was not available. The Vigilant Hose Company battled the blaze.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
