As weird as this story is, it’s been verified as true by newspaper accounts of the day.
In 1883 Henry Ziegland, of Honey Grove, Texas, broke off his
engagement to which his fiancée, causing the girl to take her own life.
The fiancé’s brother was so enraged that he sought revenge and
set out to kill Henry. He went out to Henry’s farm and shot him and then he
turned the gun on himself.
However, Henry didn't die. The bullet only grazed him before
landing in a tree.
Twenty years after he escaped death, Henry and his son were
cutting firewood when they decided to take down the tree with a bullet in it
but the wood was so tough it was almost impossible to split it with an ax so
they board some holes in the tree in the small amounts of dynamite.
Henry and his son stood about 50 feet back away from the tree
when they set the explosives off . The bullet was blown out of the tree with
such great force that it hit Henry in the left temple killing him instantly.
