Unfortunately, there's not much to be found about this accident, but if something appears, it'll be at his Findagrave page (see below), which indicates that he was George Mann Cook, "G.
M." A standard model Woodmen of the World tree trunk monument marks his final resting place. The family name, "Cook", is on the plinth, and the inscription notes the unusual method Mother Nature chose to send him to the grave:
G.N. Cook
Born
May 7, 1861,
Killed by Lightning
Aug. 10, 1906.
---
In love he lived,
In peace he died,
His life was craved,
But God denied.
