--Morris Cain, a section hand at Elmo, was killed in a cut just west of that place, last Saturday night. His wife was sick and after all the regular trains had passed, he, in company with four or five others, boarded a hand car to go up in to Iowa, where his mother-in-law lived to get her to come down to his house. While in a cut they were met by an extra caboose and engine which threw them all from the track, killing the above named man instantly. Coroner Phillips held an inquest on Sunday over his dead body. His remains were brought to Maryville Monday and interred in the Catholic cemetery.

A Correction. Elmo, August 24, 1880
I see by the piece you had in your paper about Morris Kane's death. I would like to have you put this in. It was Mr. Ryan's mother-in-law that we were going to Blanchard after and not Morris Kane's mother-in-law. We were on a hand car and when we got about half way there was an engine backing down. There were six of us on the hand car. The telegraph operator of Elmo was with us, when one of the men said jump and we all jumped except poor Morris Kane. A. Jumper.

Mrs. Mattie Case, wife of Captain L. [eonidus] H. Case, was born in 1838 and died at her home in South Maryville, Friday night, January 17, 1902, at 11 o'clock, thus making her 64 years old when she passed away.

Death of Mrs. L. H. Case.
Died at her home in the southern part of Maryville, Friday night, January 17, 1902, at 11 o'clock, Mrs. Mattie Case, aged about 60 years.
Miss McDowell was born at Lexington, Mo. Her father, Daniel McDowell, was the first sheriff of Lafayette county and her grandfather was a governor of Virginia.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the M. E. church, conducted by Rev. C. W. Webdell, after which the remains were interred in Oak Hill cemetery.
The following tribute to her memory is from the pen of H. G. Case, principal of the High School at Mammoth Springs, Arkansas.
In Memoriam.
Mrs. Mattie C. Case, wife of Capt. L. [eonidas] H. Case, aged about 60 years, departed this life Jan. 17, 1902.
Mrs. Cases' maiden name was McDowell. She was born in Lexington, Mo. and married to L. H. Case in 1876 and with the exception of a few years that the family resided in Nebraska and Arkansas her home has been in Maryville, where she was well and favorably known and especially beloved by her neighbors.
One who owes his life and all to her, with sorrowing heart would pen a line in memory of a dear and loving mother. She was pure and true as steel, unselfish, she spent her life for others.
No doubt her death was hastened on account of service and sacrifice for others. Her memory will be sacred to one she loved and so tenderly nursed. God bless her and may her spirit find an abundant entrance into heaven, where we hope to meet her when this life is over.
Good bye, dear mamma, your life was not in vain. By a loving son, H. G. C.

At Rest. Mrs. Matilda Charles Passes Away to the Better Land.
It is with sadness that we inform the many readers of the Democrat of the death of Mrs. Matilda Charles, mother of T.[homas] L. Marlin of Skidmore. Mrs. Matilda Charles was born January 29, 1814, in Tennessee and moved to Pettis county, Missouri, when a little girl. She lived in Pettis county until 1835 when she married Mr. Daniel Marlin and moved to Platte county, Missouri, where their only child, T.[homas] L. Marlin, was born November 16, 1839. He still survives his parents and lives in Skidmore where he is engaged in the hardware business. They lived in Platte county until the spring of 1837 when they moved to Nodaway county and settled on what is known as the Marlin farm three miles north of Graham. In the spring of 1850 Mr. Marlin went to California where he died in the fall of the same year. She remained on the farm with her son until October 5, 1864, at which time she married Mr. Martin Charles of Maryville. She lived in Maryville until the death of Mr. Charles Dec. 21, 1874. She then moved back to the old homestead and lived with her son until he moved to Skidmore. She left the farm in August 1883 and moved to Skidmore with her son. On Tuesday, July 15th, 1884, she went to see her sister Mrs. Mary Hughes north of Graham and on Thursday morning she took the cholera morbus and died Friday morning, July 18, at half past seven o'clock. Mr. Marlin did not know of his mother's sickness until they came after him and although he started immediately on receiving the intelligence, her spirit had taken its flight before his arrival.
She was a kind and loving mother and was loved and respected by all that knew her. She was a consistent member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church for over fifty years. She died at the age of 70 years, 5 months and 19 days. She lived out her three score years and ten—the time allotted to man—when she was called to come up higher and be with her God, whom she had served for half a century. She has gone to reap her reward. She was faithful over a few things and He will make her ruler over many things.

During the time she was attending it, while taking a buggy ride, the horse ran away and she was thrown out and so badly hurt that she never recovered from the effects of the fall. The disease developed into consumption. She was an estimable young lady, and her death is mourned by the entire community.

Death of Mary C. Crickett.
The many friends of Miss Crickett will learn with profound sorrow of her decease. Her health had been gradually declining for the past year but up to the day before she died she had been feeling as well as she had for some time past. The fatal disease, consumption, had fastened itself in her system and in the very prime and usefulness of her life she was called away. Her death occurred Sunday evening about half past seven o'clock. It was painless and easy—like going to peaceful sleep. Miss Crickett was a sister of Mrs. A. W. Penny of this city, at whose residence she died. She has a sister in Illinois and a brother in Harrison county, this state, and a brother in Oregon. She was born in Delaware county, Ohio, in the year 1855 and consequently was about twenty-four years of age. She has been in Nodaway county seven years and has followed school teaching during that period. She was very efficient and thorough as a teacher. The past two scholastic years she taught a department in the Maryville public school and was much beloved and respected by both patrons and pupils. Of gentle, amiable, disposition she made friends of all with whom she came in contact. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church on Tuesday at four o'clock P. M., conducted by Rev. A. D. Workman. At the conclusion of the services at the church, her remains were followed to Miriam cemetery by a large concourse of friends and acquaintances and consigned to the grave, there to await the summons of her Divine Master to rise and enter into life eternal. She had been for years a member of the Presbyterian church. A truly noble, Christian young lady has been called to her reward.

Instant Death. Mrs. Martin Doran is Killed in a Cyclone.
We are constantly reminded that death is ever in our midst and though we may be young and vigorous, with apparently many years of life before us, yet when we least expect it the grim messenger comes and claims us for his own. Last Friday evening at about six o'clock as Mr. Martin Doran and his wife and four small children were congregated together in his one story frame dwelling house, located on his farm six and a half miles east of Maryville, a terrific cyclone suddenly swept down on them and in the twinkling of an eye tore the house into fragments, carrying Mrs. Doran away in its merciless grasp a distance of thirty feet from where the house stood, where she was found in a few seconds after the cyclone had passed, dead. Her head was mashed and nearly all her clothes were blown off of her body. Her death was probably instantaneous. Wonderful to say, Mr. Doran and the children, the youngest of which was only two and a half years old, escaped with only some slight injuries. This is more strange too, when we tell our readers that they passed from their farm to Mr. Lavin's, a distance of a quarter of a mile, in the midst of a violent hail storm which immediately followed the cyclone but although it rained chunks of ice—some of which would weigh a pound—they were providentially saved.
From Mr. Lavin we learn that the cyclone came from the northwest traveling with the rapidity of lightning. It had a black appearance, was funnel shaped, and full of debris and made a loud, roaring sound. The track of the cyclone varied in width from 100 to 150 yards, sweeping everything before it. It appeared to come down with greater violence on the farm of Mr. Doran than on any of the surrounding country, as a mile east of his place we have not learned of its doing any great damage. As an indication of the power and force of this cyclone we will state the fact that it actually lifted out of the ground fence posts that were firmly set and had nothing nailed to them. Its force was simply irresistible, and the wonder is that either Mr. Doran or his children escaped with their lives.
The sudden death of Mrs. Doran is a sad blow to her devoted husband and four little children. She was an estimable young woman and was beloved by all who knew her. Her remains were consigned to their last resting place in the Catholic cemetery of this city last Sunday in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives.
