. 1892 Nov 2 - Hartford, List of Jurors: Lewis Lightner.
. 1899 Apr 19 - The house, barn & outbuildings with contents, on the farm 2.5 miles north east of Hartford, belonging to Ed Doyle, were burned Monday afternoon,
together with the barn & smaller buildings of Lewis Lightner who lives directly opposite.
Mr. Doyle was working in a back field & only had time to get to the house & save one dresser, some silverware & his pocket book containing $80. Everything else was swept away, including 11 head of hogs, a good young horse & nearly 600 bushels of wheat.
there were 3 head of young cattle burnt in Mr. Lightner's barn besides contents of barn, granary & cribs. The cause of the fire is unknown, it being first discovered in Mr. Doyle's barn & a strong wind soon spread the flames. Both parties re insured, but the loss will far exceed the insurance.
