• Louis Francis Albig Werner was born on 27 August 1859 in Tenterfield, New South Wales, Australia. Louis' birth certificate shows his father, Louis Werner was a 33-year-old saddler born Germany and his mother, Rosina Albig, 26 was also born in Germany.

  The Maitland Mercury reported the incident:- " SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS - This town was visited by a very severe thunderstorm on the night of Thursday and morning of Friday last. The storm commenced about five o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and continued with great violence until nine o'clock, when an abatement of a few hours took place, the heavens being partially clear, and perfect quiet reigning all around. However, another storm came up from the west ward about three o'clock on Friday morning, which exceeded in violence the preceding one, and startled the inhabitants from their repose. Indeed, such a severe storm has not been experienced in this neighbourhood for a considerable period. The only damage to the township which we have learned occurred at the house of Mr. Louis Werner, which was struck by the electric fluid and sustained material injury. The chimney was the attracting medium, which was literally destroyed, and the lightening, passing down both sides of the fireplace, where the wood is reduced to splinters, tore up the earthen floor and raised a quantity of dust which almost smothered the inmates. It then found its way into another chamber where a young man slept, striking him so that he lay insensible for a considerable time. The electricity then seems to have scattered about the building in all direction, causing the greatest confusion, when it ultimately found a good conductor in a cross-cut saw which was suspended from one of the rafters. The rafter and a number of the shingles of the roof were thus destroyed, and then the work of destruction ceased.
  It may be deemed very providential than none of the inmates were fatally hurt, as three separate rooms were occupied by them. A young sleeping child in a cradle had a very narrow escape, as its head was within a foot of the cross-cut saw which conducted the electric fluid though the roof. Others took place on Friday afternoon and Sunday."

It seems that Werner periodically becomes a mono-maniac, and during the madness, he does most rash and curious things. At times he will work in his garden in the dead of night, clothed only in nettles; at other times his poor children must go with him in the most solitary places, to pray. These fits last about a week, and it is more than probable that the loss of his eye sorely grieves him, and he ought to be thankful that the injury is not greater, for after he had plucked his eye out, he was about cutting off his foot, but was prevented by some neighbours who luckily observed him."
