    “Lightning has struck and ruined one of the most unique monuments in the United States, a towering shaft of Barre granite, 86 ½ feet high, which stands within 4 miles of the birthplace of James G. Blaine, in the Taylor Cemetery at Centerville, Pa., the monument marking the resting-place of James S. McCutcheon, in accordance with the terms of his will and to gratify his ambition to outdo all his neighbors and to prevent any of his relatives from getting any of his estate after his death.

    “One side of the monument was torn completely away by the lightning, and as no fund was left for repairing the monument, this imposing shaft, costing about $30,000, erected to gratify personal ambition and selfish grudges against relatives, will remain a neglected wreck.

    “McCutcheon, who died in 1903, determined several years before his death that every cent of his entire fortune of $30,000 should go into a monument to mark his grave, and for a number of years he worked to that end and personally looked after all the arrangements for the monument.

    “By hard work and strict economy McCutcheon accumulated a considerable fortune.  He never married, but for many years lived alone and carried on his farming operations.  His parents died years ago, and his only relative was a sister, Mrs. Stacker, with whom he had some differences, so that he did not desire to leave her any of his property.”
