The Iowa Star
August 31, 1849
Sad Casualty
A Miss Ransom, an interesting young lady belonging to Muscatine, left that place in the stage on the 17th inst., for Iowa City. When about half way the stage stopped at a house during a most violent storm. While there she was struck by lightning which killed her immediately. There were nine others in the house, but no other person was injured. Her remains were taken back to Muscatine, where she was buried.
Note: I am NOT related to this family. I just saw the obituary when I was doing research and posted it as my random act of genealogical kindness!
