Carl P. SMITH

Mirage Flats Cemetery
Sheridan County,
Nebraska

“The next day, May 26th, was a day of terror for everyone.

“Carl, late with his field work, had gotten up early that morning to try to get some plowing done in the west field. It was a misty morning. One crack of lightening. That was all. Nothing out of the ordinary.

“But the bolt of lightening hit Carl on his tractor.”
