Floradale Farmer Killed By Bolt of Lightning

STRUCK WHILE CROSSING OPEN FIELD AFTER DELIVERING TELEPHONE MESSAGE TO NEIGHBOR

Walter W. Bauman, Floradale farmer, aged 32 years, was struck by a bolt of Lightning and instantly killed on Thursday night while crossing an open field after delivering a telephone message to a neighbor who did not have a telephone. It was after he had delivered the message a severe electric storm broke suddenly and he was caught out in the bad weather.

The body was found when a search was instigated by his wife, who woke up about three o'clock and finding her husband had not returned, she called neighbors who formed a search party. The deceased was found lying face down, one hand in his pocket and the other clutching his raincoat. The back of his cap was burned and one overall leg was tattered. Mrs. Bauman did not feel uneasy after her husband went on the errand and went off to bed. It was when she woke up at three o'clock and discovered he had not returned she thought something was wrong.

Phoning Mahlon Snider, a neighbour, it was not long before the party found the body. Walter Bauman was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Bauman and a member of the Evangelical Church and also an active member of the Sunday School. He is survived by his wife, the former Evelyn Bowman, also four small sons, Clare, Kenneth, David and James. Two brothers survive, Edward and Earle, of Floradale. Funeral services were held at the home and the Evangelical Church, thence to the Union Cemetery, Elmira, for interment. The funeral was attended by a large number of relatives and friend. The body rested at Dreisinger's Funeral Chapel following the accident.
