General Notes: Husband - Isaac Phillips


A very strange occurrence, and a remarkably narrow escape from death happened to Isaac Phillips, August 25, 1853. He, with a hired man and little son, was hauling oats from the field to the barn, when a bolt of lightning descended, striking all three of them, leaving them insensible for quite a length of time. Mr. Phillips' arms were badly burned, his hat riddled and scorched, and one of his horses (a valuable animal) was killed. Upon being restored to consciousness, his sufferings were (for a time) most intense. This is, perhaps, one of the most remarkable instances of the kind on record.
