Henry Ziegland was a man living in Honey Grove, Texas. In the year 1883, he dumped his girlfriend turned fiancee Macy Tichnor. Macy loved him a lot and couldn’t stand the idea of living without him. Shocked by Henry’s unfaithfulness, she became depressed and ended her life.
This didn’t change Henry’s life who continued to live as a farmer and a businessman. Macy’s brother was furious and decided to avenge his sister’s death. He prepared a plan to eliminate Henry and went to his farm with a pistol. The timing and place were fixed.
That day, Henry went to the woods to cut trees. Macy’s brother ambushed him and opened fire. The bullet deflected off Henry’s skull and then got stuck inside a tree trunk. Macy’s brother looked at Henry’s unconscious body and assumed that he was dead. But fate had other plans for his sister’s killer.
After killing the one responsible for his sister’s death, Macy’s brother turned the gun on himself and committed suicide since he had no reason to live. His sister was dead. He successfully avenged her death.
But Henry wasn’t dead. The bullet had just grazed him. So after some time, he got up and went to see a doctor. He continued living a normal life after that. He had a family, a wife, and a child.
20 years went by since that incident and Henry was an old man now. But it came back to haunt him again. One day, Henry was cutting firewood inside the forest with his son. There was one tree that he couldn’t cut with an ax. So he decided to apply dynamite and put it inside the trunk, which was the norm of the time.
Henry lodged a bunch of dynamites inside the tree trunk to blow it. He told his son to stay away. The dynamite was ignited and Henry and his son moved 50 feet away. The tree exploded. What happened next sounds like a thriller film. A bullet, fired by Macy’s brother, that had been resting all this time in the same tree trunk, came out of the tree and hit Henry in the head temple with full force. It was instant death for Henry this time, completing the revenge story of Macy’s brother.
