Mrs. Kimball had spent Wednesday night at the home of J. W. Brock attending her grandson, Willis Brock, who was sick with typhoid fever, and was returning home in company with her granddaughter, Miss Mayme Brock, when the sad accident occurred. Mrs. Kimball was driving their family mare with a bridle without a throat latch. The mare being in a dissatisfied condition worked off the bridle, causing her to become excited and runaway. Mrs. Kimball and Miss Brock were thrown out of the buggy. Mrs. Kimball was advanced in age and her injuries proved fatal within a short while after the accident. Miss Brock was only slightly injured. The funeral services were not held until Saturday afternoon owing to the lateness of the arrival of Rev. Kimball who was in Oklahoma at the time of the accident. A large number of friends of the family and of the deceased attended the funeral. Interment was made at the Painter Cemetery near Shell Knob. Rev. Kimball and immediate relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of the public. - Footstone Transcription

Her sister, Miriam Pray's death certificate names their parents as John W. Pray born Clearmont, OH and Susannah McDonald born PA. It reads that she died Oct. 22, 1927 and not the 2nd as Penny transcribed. It has her birth date as Oct. 29, 1843. The stone has Oct. 27, 1927 as her death date, also has Oct. 28, 1842 as her birthdate. She was buried on the 23rd, so the Oct. 22, 1927 date for her death seems to be the most accurate. - Cassville Republican, Aug. 28, 1919 - What will not grow in Barry County?

Donna's Note: The death certificate has his death date as Nov. 20, 1916. - November 30, 1916, Thursday, Cassville Republican, Barry Co., MO - At Rest, W. F. Lafontaine living near Shell Knob, died Nov. 20, at 7 a.m., at his home, age 71 years, 2 months and 5 days. W. F. Lafontaine was born Sept. 15, 1845, near Bellville, Ill. He was married to Miss Rachel Pray, May 5, 1831 at Verona, Mo., and located at Shell Knob where he made his home until death. He professed faith in Christ at the age of 38 years and united with the Free Will Baptist church and lived a devoted Christian life until death. Bro. Lafontaine held family prayer in his home until he could talk no longer. To them one child was born, "Little Mary" as we all knew her, but only lived to brighten their home until she was seven years old. Bro. Lafontaine bore his afflictions with patience although he was the confined to his bed some time. All the medical aid that could be obtained failed to relieve him of his afflictions. All who knew him well knew that his life was a good example for us to follow. Bro. Lafontaine leaves a wife, one half-brother to mourn his death. Bro. Vanwinkle, the half brother, was at his bedside when death came. He made many warm friends during his short stay here. Funeral services were conducted by Bro. Smallwood at the Baptist church to a large crowd of friends. Text: Ephesians 3: 30-21, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Painter cemetery by the side of his little girl to await the resurrection morn, when he will hear well done thou good and faithful servant enter into the joys of they Lord." We all extend to Sister Lafontaine our sympathy in this sad hour, who stood by his bedside so faithfully administering to this every want for so long. May the sprit of God console and lead her along life's pathway. Transcription
