Lightning Bolt Kills Girl, 12

Lightening kidded a 12 year-old girl near Roper Friday afternoon about 3 o’clock when a bolt struck down Betty Lou Payne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Payne, who live northwest of Roper, as she played in the yard of her home.
Betty Lou, her brother Dale, and another girl, Marjorie Schmeissner, were all in the yard when the bold struck. Marjorie was six feet away from Betty Lou but suffered no ill effects. Later she complained a little of her ears hurting.
The child was near a tree about 20 feet from the house when the lightning struck. A neighbor, Ray Scott, heard the crash and was the first to reach the stricken child. Dr. Riley of Benedict was called and the girl’s father was notified at the Benedict Elevator where he is employed.

Betty is survived by her parents and three brothers. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. at a place not yet determined. The Rev. Ed Reinhardt of Fredonia will be in charge of the burial. Chanute Tribune August 2
