August Blank, a farmer living 10 miles northeast of Pierce on the Hertert place, was struck by lighting and killed instantly about 5:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon during a rain and electrical storm. Bland and wife had been to Pierce to get supplies for threshing and had returned home but a short time. His father-in-law, Gus Draeger, had been caring for the place during their absence. Mr. Draeger had some trouble with his team which became restless upon the approach of the storm. Blank started across the road to help his father-in-law when the bolt struck, killing him instantly, rendering Mr. Draeger unconscious for a time and knocking down one of the horses. The lighting struck the unfortunate man on the shoulder, ran down the entire body and tore off the shoe from the right foot. Mr. Blank was born in Germany August 4, 1884, being 33 years, one month and 14 days. He came to America with his parents when a boy. He is survived by a wife, four little children, parents, five brothers, one sister. Funeral services will be held in St. John's Lutheran Church, east of Pierce, this afternoon.
