Charles Albert Prescott
Montpelier Examiner, Friday, 2 July 1920
Tuesday afternoon during the severe lightening and thunderstorms
which passed over the valley, Albert Prescott of Sharon was killed by lighting
about two miles up Miles' Canyon near Sharon. Mr. Prescott was 17 years of age
and the son of Mrs. Eliza Prescott, a widow of Sharon.
The young man was engaged in herding sheep. When the body was found later by friends in search of him, his faithful dog was lying near the body also dead, the lightning having killed both. County Coroner F M Williams was called to Sharon and upon investigation found the cause of death to be as stated.
