Lightning strikes again! At 7:15 on Monday morning, July 19, 1976, the Owen-Withee Fire Department was called to the vacant house on the Harold Laube property when it was struck by Lightning. The house, located five miles south on , 1 miles east and ½ mile north, was formerly the Dave Churkey farm, and unused since Laube purchased the farm land. When the fire department arrived at the scene the house was almost completely burned to the ground.
