Maquoketa Excelsior, September 26, 1898

As Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kennedy of Buncombe, Dubuque County, were returning from a visit with their daughter, Mrs. John Dunlap of near Elwood, Clinton County, their team became frightened at a dead horse lying in the road, ran away, overturning the buggy and throwing them both out. Mrs. Kennedy sustained injuries from which she died immediately and Mr. Kennedy was severely but not seriously injured. The accident occurred Saturday and they were within a mile of home. Mrs. Kennedy's funeral will be held tomorrow.
