Starting from a neighbor's house, to the place where he was staying, Mr. Hronish made the trip on horseback. He crossed a corn field and when in the middle of it a bolt of lightning struck him, killing himself and his horse. His clothes were torn to shreds, some of them being cast fifty feet distant, and what remained on his body were nearly burned up. Failing to return to his mother's home the next morning a search was made for him and the tracks of his horse were followed into the corn field, where the remains were found. Mr. Hronish has been living on a claim out near Piedmont and had returned to Bon Homme county to thresh and husk his corn. He leaves a widow and a son. Source: Omaha (Nebraska) Daily Bee - October 24, 1911 ------------------------- Edward Alvin Hronish was born near Yankton, S.D., June 10, 1886 and in 1887 the family moved to Hutchinson county where he grew to manhood. In January 1909 he, with two of his brothers and one sister, went to Meade county where they took up homesteads, moving there in May of the same year. On Dec. 14, 1910 he was married to Miss Mollie Gertrude Miller at the home of her father, Otis G. Miller, at Plankinton, S.D. On the evening of the same day they departed for Meade county at which place they lived happily and in July 1912 (note: obvious newspaper typo, as he died in 1911) they proved up and moved back to his old home ten miles northwest of Scotland. On Sept. 25, he was blessed with the birth of a son to whom he was dearly attached. In the midst of this happiness he answered the last call for on the afternoon of Oct. 15th he met his death by a lightning strike while riding along on his way home, he and his horse being killed instantly. His death was not discovered by his anxious wife who waited in vain for his return, until the next morning when after many inquiries and much anxiety by his wife, mother, and brothers he was discovered six miles from home by his brother William, who went out in search of him, and at once spread the sad news. His funeral was held the following Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. After a few comforting works and a short prayer by Rev. C. E. Wilcox the funeral proceeded to the M. E. church at Scotland, at 2 o'clock, where the regular funeral services were held. Rev. Wilcox delivered a very beautiful and comforting sermon and prayer and the funeral proceeded to the Rose Hill cemetery where the body was tenderly laid in its last resting place. In the fall of 1909 he joined the M. W. of A. society of which he continued an active member until his death. His character was spotless, his thoughts were always of the higher things of life, his aim to always live to pleases all with whom he came in contact, ever ready to help those who were in need of his help. Besides a loving wife and his infant son, Donley Henry, he leaves to mourn his loss a father and mother, nine brothers and three sisters. On account of his sudden death many of his relatives were unable to reach here in time for the funeral, among whom were his father and three brothers, George, John and Henry who run a ranch near Stanford, Mont., Charles living near Marshall, N.D., Albert in Newark, N.J.. Among those present besides his mother and brothers William and Paul who live at the old home were his brothers Rudolph who lives at Geddes and Louis who lives at Fairfax and also his three sisters: Mrs. Ray Stevens, of Mitchell, Maggie who is a seamstress at Deadwood, and Martha who attends the Wesleyan University at Mitchell. Among the wife's relatives present were Otis G. Miller, father of the bereaved wife, and her brother Cass and sister Hazel. Source: The Citizen-Republican (Scotland, SD) ~ October 26, 1911
