Bio
Published in the Ord Quiz, Ord, Nebraska, Thursday, May 21, 1914, Page 1, Column 4. LIGHTNING'S AWFUL WORK. Three Sons of Frank Krahulik Were Killed By Lightening and Barn Burned Last Night. While all the county was rejoicing last night over the copious rain that was falling one family was in deep sorrow over the loss of three sons. Mr. Krahulik, living eleven miles west of the city, in Geranium township, had just returned home from town, where he had been with a load of wheat, and his three sons, Charles, Lumir and John, aged from 11 to 15 were at the barn putting the team up for the night. It was about 10 o'clock and the storm was on. A lightning bolt struck the barn. Mr. Krahulik and other members of the family ran to the scene of the accident and found the barn in flames and the boys killed. The boys must all have been killed instantly. Of course the first effort was to get the bodies of the dead boys out of the barn, which was successfully done, but the barn and the entire contents, including several horses, were destroyed. As soon as possible Dr. Barta was summoned, and he made a quick run to the place, but, of course, there was nothing he could do. This, one of the worst accidents that ever befell a Valley county home, has spread great grief over the whole community, and is of course a terrible shock to the family. The three boys killed were the only sons living at home. The two older sons are living in the west. Charlie, the oldest of the dead, had just graduated from the St. Paul Business college and had returned last Friday. He was in town with his father yesterday and returned with his father just in time to receive the fatal bolt. One death by lightning or by any sudden cause is sad and terrifying enough, but the loss of all three sons in one fell moment marks the climax of tragedies.
