Obit For Susan Adeline (Wilcox) (Sanders) Kimball
Headline Sad Death
Text Mrs. Kimball, wife of Rev. Virgil Kimball, was thrown from a buggy and killed in a runaway about one and a half miles, south of Shell Knob, Thursday morning of last week. 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.
