Two persons were killed and two others seriously injured when they were struck by bolts of lighting during the storm which reached cloudburst proportion which visited Fulton county shortly after 6 o'clock last night. The dead are Mrs. Irene FEIDNER, aged 21, and her son, Martin [FEIDNER], aged 4 who died together when lightning struck a corn crib in which they sought shelter when the storm broke. Mrs. Feidner and her son, Martin, live on a farm seven miles southwest of Kewanna, on the Pulaski-Fulton county line. Her husband is Harley FEIDNER who has resided in the community for a number of years. Mrs. Feidner and her son had been at the barn assisting with the evening chores and had gone back to the house when the storm broke to close the windows. This task completed they started to return to the barn when the rain began to fall in torrents. The mother and son darted into a corn crib for protection. The lightning was particularly heavy at this time Mr. Feidner said today. With his work completed Mr. Feidner made his way through the rain to join his family in the home. Finding his wife gone Mr. Feider went in search of her. Mr. Feidner found his wife and son lying on the floor of the corn crib the mother with her child clasped tightly in her arms. Both were dead.
