Recommended Posts

Found this amazing, one of a kind, dairy farm way out Old Main Street Road and just had to share!

From the newspaper The Houston Post. July 6, 1916.

Lightning Struck Herd.
One Cow Killed and Others Knocked to Ground at Harris Dairy.

Lighting struck a herd of cows belonging to J.S. Harris, proprietor of a dairy on the Main Street Road, while a heavy thunder shower was in progress late Tuesday afternoon.

As a result, one cow was killed outright and a number of others were knocked to the ground and stunned.

Henry Harris, son of the dairyman, who was on horseback, driving the cows, also received a severe shock which stunned him or a few minutes. This happened near Mr. Harris' dairy on the Main Street Road.
