John Robert Caskey
Jan 28, 1874 - June 26 1922
MAN IS KILLED BY LIGHTNING; OTHERS ARE KNOCKED DOWN
J. R. CASKEY MET DEATH LATE YESTERDAY WHILE WORKING IN HIS FIELD
Yesterday afternoon, near 4:30, on the Cheney farm, some ten or
twelve miles southeast of here, John R. Caskey was instantly killed,
a negro woman had her shoes torn from her feet, her bonnet torn into
fragments and her clothing set on fire, and a son of Caskey and six
negroes in addition to the woman mentioned, were all knocked down,
but none of them seriously hurt, and all from a flash of lightning
from a clear sky. There was a small cloud at the time to the
southwest and another cloud to the east of the field, but the sun
was shining brightly over the ill-fated gang of laborers in the
field. John R. Caskey was the son-in-law of John G. Willis, a well
known carpenter of Corsicana, and he is survived by his widow and
seven children. He was also a cousin of Tom Franks, a city
patrolman, and his youngest brother, Jesse Caskey is in the employ
of the Electric Express Co. here. His father John Caskey, and a
brother, E. C. Caskey are residents of the Pursley community. There
are other brothers and sisters all highly esteemed citizens of this
county.
The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, with
interment in the Hamilton cemetery.
Mr. J. G. Willis, father-in-law- of John R. Caskey, was there on a
visit to the family and was in the house when the ligtning flash did
its dreadful work. Mr. Willis says the negress was at least thirty
feet from Mr. Caskey when the bolt struck, and that the woman was
knocked several feet from where she was standing, but her shoes,
torn almost in fragments, were right where she was standing when
hit. When Mr. Willis left there this morning the woman, Lucy White,
was still alive, but there seemed little hope for her recovery.
Notes:
--
Funeral This Afternoon.
The remains of the late John R. Caskey, who was killed by lightning
Monday afternoon near Cheneyboro, were brought here this afternoon
on the Trinity & Brazos Valley railroad, and the funeral took place
from the depot with interment in the Hamilton cemetery. The last sad
rites were largely attended and there were many pretty floral
offerings.
