St. Paul Lutheran Church was Struck by Lightning!

In late May of 1903, St. Paul Lutheran Church in Chuckery was struck by lightning.  The damage was discovered on a Sunday morning when the church was opened for morning worship.  Plaster was knocked off of the walls and from the ceiling.  The lightning ran down the chandeliers.  It also ran down the stove pipe, knocking the pipe to the floor.  It is estimated by the church trustees that a few dollars will repair the damage.
