| From "Historical Sketches of Pocahontas County" by William T. Price - In a field near his parents home Arthur was caught in a shower. He first sheltered under a wagon, but as it leaked so much he ran to a nearby tree and was instantly killed by lightning. His brother Irby was near and saw it all. |
