Re: [meteorite-list] NP Article, 07-1896 Meteorite Kills Children, Brings Rain

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello Mike and List,   Mike asked "Is there other evidence that two boys were killed in 1896 by a meteorite?  I was under the impression that there were no reported cases of people being killed by meteorites."   This article dates pretty close to the time of our "Meteorite Fiend".  The late 1800's saw several newspaper articles about meteorites hitting people, houses and the like that do not appear to be true.  These were articles that mostly surfaced from some institution like the associated press.    You can read more this Meteorite Fiend here in this old newspaper article...   http://www.meteoritearticles.com/znp06241886.html   And find several examples of his handy work here...   http://www.meteoritearticles.com/newspaper1800archive.html   I have about 70+ old newspapers articles I need to transcribe and hope to find time to update the site soon.  At about 450 pages now, it has been growing quite well, and is likely the largest meteorite related website. Even still, if anyone has any meteorite newspaper articles you do not see posted on my website let me know.   Mark Bostick www.MeteoriteArticles.com
