Terrible Fatality - struck Dead by Lightning
The great crash of thunder which occurred
in Bega shortly after noon yesterday drew
forth from almost everybody's lips the words
"something has been struck", and
no sooner had people recovered from the shock
than a bigger one reached their ears when
it became known that Mrs. Charles Galli,
residing in Carp Street, opposite McNamara's
butchery, had been struck dead by the lightning.
People flocked to the scene, half inclined
to doubt the awful news, but it turned out
to be only too true.
The circumstances of the case are particularly
sad. Mrs. L.J. Sharpe, living next door to
Mrs. Galli, became frightened at the storm
and went into the deceased's place for company.
Mrs. Galli had some food cooking for the
baby on the fire in the kitchen, which is
detached from the house, and leaving her
child in charge of Mrs. Sharpe, she went
out to see about the food. It was then that
the fatal crash came, and Mrs. Sharpe seeing
the flash of the lightning bolt, looked out
and saw Mrs. Galli lying in the space between
the house and the kitchen. It is not known
whether the unfortunate woman was at the
fireplace when struck or not. Mrs. Sharpe
states that she could not have reached there
in the time, and it seems hardly likely that
she could have got to where the body was
found if she had been at the fire place,
although the position of the body, face downwards
and towards the house, indicated that she
was struck inside the kitchen and struggled
to where she was found. The hair was singed,
and there was a bruise on the right cheek,
which left a small quantity of blood where
the deceased fell. Mrs. P McNamara, who picked
up the deceased, stated that there was no
sign of life at the time, although afterwards
it was found by holding a mirror to her mouth,
that slight breathing continued for a few
minutes. When Dr. Parsons arrived he pronounced
life extinct.
The deceased, whose maiden name was Margaret
Love, her people belonging to the Pambula
side, was of middle age, and highly respected
for her amiable and kindly qualities. She
leaves a family of five young children, the
youngest being but four months old. Mr. Galli,
who is a vanman for Munro, Bull and Co.,
left home about 10 o'clock with a load of
goods for Bemboka, after partaking of a meal
prepared by the hands of her who was the
partner of his joys and sorrows, and who
he was not to meet alive again.
The affair cast an awful gloom over the
town, and the sympathy of all goes out to
the husband, the little children, and the
relatives of deceased in their loss. Mrs.
Sharpe, who was in the house at the time,
received, as may be expected, a severe shock,
and fell three times in reaching the street,
with the baby of the unfortunate woman in
her arms. She was picked up and carried into
her own house, and was unable to speak for
some time. In the afternoon, when called
to give evidence at the inquest, Mrs. Sharpe
went off into a faint as she neared the witness
box, and had to be helped outside.
The lightning bolt struck the top of the
kitchen chimney, shattering it, and passed
down into the fireplace and out the door.
The lid of the kettle was split in two, and
bricks and mortar scattered about. The shock
was felt by all the residents in the vicinity,
each of whom thought is was their own place
that had been struck. In the afternoon an
inquest was held before Mr. Dowdroy, Coroner,
and a jury of twelve. Evidence was given
by Mrs. McNamara and John Cody as to the
finding of the body, and by Dr. Parsons as
to the cause of death. A verdict of death
from lightning was returned.

Pericoe
Mrs Charles Galli who was killed so suddenly
in Bega recently was a daughter of Mr. J.
A. Love of Pericoe, a niece of Mr. T. Hite
of Towamba Store, also sister to Mrs. W.
Watson of Lett's Creek, Pericoe. It seems
a strange co-incidence that Mr. Love's wife
died at Pericoe just three weeks previously.
