I couldn't help but laugh at this story.
While fighting in Flanders, Major Summerford was struck by lightning, leaving him paralyzed in the lower body. He left the military service and went to Vancouver. In 1924, the retired elder was fishing on the riverbank when lightning
struck the tree he was sitting under.
The eldest, barely recovered from the last lightning strike, was paralyzed on the right side of his body. Two years later, Mr. Summerford learned to walk again and was even able to walk to a nearby park,
but in 1930 he was struck by lightning again. This time the eldest was completely paralyzed and died shortly after.
The story did not end with his death. After his funeral, lightning struck his tombstone three more times.
There are other examples of the selectivity of rays. In 1899 he killed an Italian. Exactly 30 years later, in the same place, his son was killed by lightning, and in 1949 his great-grandson was struck by lightning.
