September 21, 1909 - The Sandstone
High School building was struck by lightning and at an early hour this morning
was a mass of ruins, the loss being $35,000 with $28,000 insurance on the
building. Only a few books were saved from the flames. There was no one in the
building at the time the building was struck by lightning, through scarcely
half an hour before the school directors had adjourned a meeting there.

If you are interested in finding out more about your family history in Minnesota, I specialize in researching genealogical and historical records in Minn. and western Wis., including: census records, birth records, death certificates, obits, grave site photos, ship passenger lists, marriage records and declarations of intent/naturalization records. I will visit locations to research local history and county records, as well as take photos. Quick turnaround on MNHS records. Both short searches and family history reports.
