"NATHAN EASON KILLED BY LIGHTNING"

Daily Reflector, August 20, 1910

"Mr. Nathan Eason, a farmer of Greene county, was killed by lightning Friday afternoon. Mr. Matt Hardee, a brother-in-law of Mr. Eason, had been visiting him, and they were on their way to Farmville where Mr. Hardee was to take the train for Greenville. On the road they were caught in a storm and stopped in a house for shelter. Mr. Eason was standing just inside the door holding on to the buggy reins, when a bolt of lightning struck and killed the mule. The lightning also run up the reins and killed Mr. Eason, and Mr. Hardee was slightly shocked. About two years ago Mr. Eason married Miss Florence Hardee, of Greenville."
