Do you know Henry Ziegland? You may not know that his story dates back to a century. The tale is quite unfortunate and unbelievable.
What happened to Henry?
Henry was no big shot. To know his story, we have to go back to 1905. He was a farmer from Texas. Henry cheated on his girlfriend Mayasie Tichnor, and she couldn’t take it. She killed herself. Mayasie’s brother, being agitated by the incident, planned to revenge. He went straight to Henry’s house and shot him. He shot himself then. But luck was in favor of Henry, not of Mayasie’s brother. The shot hit a tree, not Henry.
The destiny
Twenty years passed after the tragic incident. Henry was chopping down trees on his land. A tree was so big that he couldn’t budge it and stopped trying to chop it down. Boring holes in the tree’s trunk, Henry packed the holes with dynamite.
As the detonation happened, the tree was broken into pieces. Destiny played a game with Henry again after two decades. The bullet Mayasie’s brother fired at Henry sat in that very tree. As the tree exploded, the bullet stroke Henry’s temple. Henry was dead.
About the Story’s Truth
This story has been published and re-published in local and global news. The same story was published with two different places being referred to as the place of occurrence. But Henry’s family or local administration has no confirmation of the incident.
Some people also say that the story was a hoax, not a real one. Chances are meager that we get to know the truth one day. But the story is undoubtedly sorrowful.
