was extingui
by the Union township fire depart
ment in a two-hour battle last Fri
day night, after the belfry of the
structure had been struck by light

Fire damage to the church was
confined almost entirely to the belfry
through the efforts of the fire de
partment.
Prompt sounding of the alarm
helped in the battle to save the
church, for firemen were called im

mile west of Mt. Cory, saw a light
ning bolt strike the belfry at 9:30
p. m. during an electrical storm.
