Adler, life-time resident of Jefferson County, was instantly killed yesterday afternoon when a bolt of lightening struck him while working in a field on the Joe Ball farm three and a half miles northwest of Fairfield. Adler was driving a team of mules hitched to a manure spreader and working in a field south of the farm home. His step-daughter, Opal Hubbs, was taking a coat to him and was opening the gate nearby when he toppled from the wagon. The bolt also killed one of the mules, while the other apparently was not hurt. The Lightening struck Adler during the severe electrical storm which swept over Fairfield and Jefferson County about 4:00 p.m. yesterday. Reports stated that the bolt apparently struck Mr. Adler on the back of the head. He also had several bad burns on other parts of his body. When the lightening struck him, it threw him from the seat into the back of the manure spreader and the seat on which he was sitting was splintered. Coroner Jack Raymond was called to the scene. He stated this morning that there would be no bequest. Ralph Alvin Adler was born in Jefferson County on April 14, 1898, and had lived in this community all of his life. He was a veteran of the first World war. The family lives on the Joe Ball farm.
