| Headline | Killed by Lighting |
| Text | The shower of rain that brought so much gladness to many homes this morning brought sorrow to one home in this community. Early this morning Mrs. McKinney, wife of M. L. McKinney living about eight miles east of Monett, near Verona, was struck by a bolt of lighting and instantly killed. Mrs. McKinney with some of her family was in the garden picking berries when the sudden electric flash struck her to earth. No other member of the family was injured. Many friends in Monett were shocked at the news of the sudden death of Mrs. McKinney as she was well known and well liked here, and the family have the sympathy of all in their sadness and bereavement. She leaves a family of twelve children, all living. Two daughters Mrs. George Brown and Miss Julia McKinney live in this city. Monett Star, May 31. |
