Struck by Lightning Mr. Henry W. Parkman of Eulala Instantly Killed--a Sad Calamity News reached this city on Monday morning of the sad and
tragic death of Mr. Henry D. Parkman, of the Eulala section. On Sunday
evening about dark Mr. Parkman had occasion to go into his yard. When
returning to his residence a terrific electric bolt burst upon him,
producing instant death. His wife, hearing the loud demonstration and
fearing that something had happened, rushed to the door and peering
through the darkness discovered her husband lying on the ground. His
clothing had been set on fire by the stroke.
Mr. Parkman’s age was 32 years. He leaves a wife and five
children.
Many years ago, before the war, Mr. Jas. Parkman, the
father of the unfortunate man whose death is related above, was struck by
lightning but escaped serious injury. His clothes were badly torn and his
survival is considered miraculous.

G.E. McCarey of Newberry, hence his wedding is of interest to many in the
state.
His bride was formerly Miss Eileen Keeley, daughter of
Mrs. Mary Keeley of 3691 Hudson boulevard, Jersey City.

visit the former’s father and will leave for Jersey City Wednesday, where
they will make their home until Mr. McCarey, who is a noncommissioned
officer of the U.S.S. Hopkins, gets his release from the
navy.

honor of the couple this evening. A pink and white color scheme, carried

The above is from The State. Mr. and Mrs. McCarey spent
several days in Newberry the past week on a visit to his father and
brother, W.E. and G.E. McCarey and other relatives in Newberry, and on
Sunday during the stay the family went over to Good Hope Baptist church in
Saluda county, formerly Edgefield county and the home church of the
McCareys in years gone by and the home section where the family lived
before coming to Newberry. Wish we could have gone with them to old Good
Hope, the place where we were wont to go to church in our boyhood
