One grandson, Lloyd, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Carper, preceded her a little over one year ago to the heavenly home and was waiting to welcome his grandma. Mrs. Carper united with the Presbyterian church at the age of twenty-four and has since lived a consistent christian life. In her home she was a kind wife and loving mother. In social life she was strong, and it can be truly said that everyone who knew her was her friend. For over a year she had suffered from that dreadful disease cancer of the stomach, and about three weeks ago her physicians told her she could not live. Trusting in her savior, she was able to say. "Thy will be done," and when at last she was summoned to go, she was willing and anxious to go, she said, and live with Jesus.
The funeral was held at the home Sabbath day at 4 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Pruitt of Shambaugh. She had chosen as the text, I Cor 2-9: "But as it is written, eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him,"

The bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of all who know them, in the sad bereavement. We realize how insufficient human sympathy is when we think of their loss, of the vacant chair in the home and the voice they will never hear again as they sit around the family circle. In this time of sorrow we can only point them to the divide one. who will enable us to find consolation in the hope we have that if we take her example as our guide we will meet her in the happy home, which will be one unbroken family around the throne of God. In the midst of life death claimed her. and in the triumph of a living faith she passed from earth with its labors to heaven and its reward, only to shine a brighter iight on the other shore. Amidst many sympathizing friends the last tender words were spoken and sung and Mrs. Carper was laid to rest in the Clarinda cemetery by the side of her little grandson Lloyd. "Call not back the dear departed,"
Anchored safe where storms are o'er: On the border land where we left here,
Soon to meet to part no more. Far beyond this world of changes,
Far beyond this world of care; We shall find our missing loved one
In our Father's mansion fair.

Mary A. Augustine was born in Pennsylvania, May 8, 1844. At the age of fourteen she came with her parents to Illinois. She was married to John F. Carson Dec. 4, 1879, two years later, coming to Page county, Iowa, where they have since resided. She was one of a family of eleven children, two sisters and two brothers survive her, only one sister being able to be with her during her last illness, and with loving heart and tender care helped to soothe her in her last hours. Mrs. Carson united with the Methodist Episcopal church in early girlhood, and lived a faithful, devoted, energetic Christian life.
On the 12th day of February at 6 o'clock in the evening, word went out that Mrs. Mary Carson had given up the burdens of life, knowing that she was soon to cross the bar and meet her Pilot "Face to face". An expression of regret went up from the host of friends to whom she had been most dear. Yet with the regret came the feeling of thankfulness that her sufferings had ended, and that she had passed to that better land. What has been a great loss to the community has been her greatest gain. She is too well known that her virtues need be sung, yet many points, in her lovely character deserve more than passing mention.   Nothing so comforting as the recollection of the sweet abiding influence of her gentle and pure character and worthy example. The memory of her gracious presence, her loving helpfulness, her unselfish giving of herself, rest like a benediction upon us, so modest, so retiring that her wonderful strength of leadership was a continual surprise. She stretched out her hand to the poor, and her's was the hand that suffereth long and is kind and never faileth.
Funeral services were held at the home west of Clarinda Saturday, Feb 15, at 2 p. m., Rev. M. M. Cable of the M. E. church of Clarinda officiating. The body was taken to Canton, Ill., and laid to rest at the side of her parents. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 20, 1919

The community has suffered a deep loss in the death of the late Mrs. J. F. Carson. Those who have been associated with her in various enterprises for general uplift, know the progressive spirit with which she was imbued and remember the gentle, kindly manner in which she rendered assistance. In the establishing of the Page county rest room in the Clarinda court house she was particularly interested and she made many little gifts to go toward the keeping up of the room, especially before a monetary provision had been made for the support of the place. She will be missed by the rest room committee and by those who had been accustomed to see her when she visited the room.
The late Mrs. Carson was born in Pennsylvania, May 8, 1844. Her maiden name was Mary A. Augustine. At the age of 14 she moved with her parents to Illinois. She was married Dec. 4, 1879, to John F. Carson and removed with him to Page county, la., two years later. She became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church in early girlhood and throughout her life remained devoted to her faith.

COLORED MAN IS A HERO.
Henry Carter Warns Others—Loses Own Life in Fire.
A fire which resulted fatally for one of the occupants of the burned building, occurred Tuesday night when the R. T. Lane restaurant building on South Ninth street was badly damaged. Henry. Carter, who aroused Mr. Lane, Joe Wilson and Percy Wilson, the only other occupants of the house, lost his life by suffocation from smoke. Henry was better known as "Frock."
The fire was discovered at 11:30 p.m., by Mrs. L. C. Clark, who lives north of the restaurant. She was awakened by a noise and thought at first it was falling sleet, then looked out of the window and saw the fire which was burning and crackling near the ground at the rear of the restaurant building. Mr. Lane had a twenty gallon tank of creosote stored in the rear of the building. Before Mrs. Clark could get out of the house to arouse the sleepers in the second story of the burning building the tank of creosote exploded and almost instantly the entire west end of the building was in flames. Mrs. Clark called and ran around the house and tried every way she knew how to awaken Mr. Lane and the other men in the house but it was some minutes before she finally aroused Mr, Carter, who in turn awoke the other men but waited too long to save his own life. The men were all in the east end or the main part of the house. Mr. Lane and Percy Wilson saved their lives by jumping from windows, as did Joe Wilson, a young colored man who was ill in bed, having undergone a minor surgical operation the day before. The stairway by the time the men were awake was impassable. Mr. Lane after getting out began to inquire about Mr. Carter, but he could not be found. The body was found in the hallway about twenty minutes of 2 o'clock, after the flames had been extinguished by the Clarinda Fire department who did splendid work in saving considerable of the main part of the building.
The Fire company   had responded quickly to the alarm and soon had three streams of water on the building.      Mr. Lane considers the loss on the; building  at  $2000,  which  was only partly covered by insurance.   There was no insurance on the furniture. Mr. Lane escaped with only his night clothing.   Mr. Lane plans to rebuild as soon as the insurance is adjusted.
Mrs. Clark, who ran out of her house barefooted, suffered from chilled feet from the frosty ground. If it had not been for her prompt action the lives of all the men in the building might have been lost.
In addition to his financial loss, Mr. Lane is mourning the loss of his friend who had been with him as a helper in the restaurant building for eight years. He speaks of him as a fine man who gave his life for three men in the building.
Mr. Carter was 37 years of age. He was a son of the late Moses Carter, a well known colored man of Clarinda who was a Union soldier. He was a brother of Mrs. Jane Montgomery of this city and Moses Carter Jr. of Oskaloosa. The funeral was to be held this afternoon at 2:30 at the St. Jacob's A. M. E. church. Burial was to be in Clarinda cemetery. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 10, 1921

People of Clarinda were shocked last Thursday to learn of an accident to Matthew Casey, a former Clarinda man. Mr. Casey had for some time been in the employ of Swift and Co. in Clinton. The plant at which he works is about a mile down the river from where he rooms and it was his habit, as it was the habit of many of the employee who worked there, to ride down to work on the freight trains.
On Jan. lst he had worked in the morning and was returning home about 10.30. As he attempted to step on a fast moving train he slipped on some ice and fell under the train. One leg was entirely cut off while the other was mangled. He was immediately taken to a hospital and was operated on but the shock and loss of blood was so great that he passed away that evening at 10 o'clock.
Matthew Casey, son of M. T. and Mary Casey, was born in Clarinda, Iowa, Jan. 7, 1887. He died Jan. 1, 1914, in the hospital at Clinton, Iowa. His father and one brother preceded him in death..

Elizabeth Blair Caskey.
The community has once more been called upon to realize the truthfulness of the Master's statement, "therefore be ye also ready for in such an hour as ye think not the son of man cometh."
Altho Mrs. Caskey had been in failing strength for some time, not even her most intimate friends realized that she was living within the Valley and Shadow and was so soon to pass on to to the house of many mansions.
Mrs. Caskey's illness dated from last winter when a severe cold was contracted which later developed into tubercular trouble.
She was the daughter of James and Jane Blair and was born in Ireland, February 14, 1S68. She came to America when quite young, settling in the vicinity of Clarinda.

She was married to Robt. Caskey, Oct. 26, 1898 and died June 13, 1909. To this union five children were born, Arthur, Howard, Isabel, Wylie and a baby, now two months old. She was a member of the R. P. church.
The funeral was conducted by Rev. Robt Clark of Chicago, who spoke words of comfort to the sorrowing friends, taking as his theme the Bethany home where the Savior was with the sisters in their joys and sorrows.    The sermon was preached in the R. P. church where a large congregation of friends followed, all that was mortal of Mrs. Caskey to the quiet country church yard where she was laid to rest among her friends and neighbors who had gone before.
Mrs. Caskey was at her best in her home. She was a good wife and mother.
The home was full of sunshine. She was a woman who enjoyed work and her thrifty and industrious life made her little home to bloom. She was a great lover of flowers and the beautiful roses in her yard bore testimony to the good taste and culture of the woman.    
She was a dutiful daughter and sister in the home of her parents, where her industrious life was first noticed in her care for her younger brothers and sisters.
Then in the care of her own children did the mother love manifest itself.
She will be missed by a large circle of friends but most of all by the sorrowing husband and motherless children.
The dead, since earth was created,
Lived they not for you and me, They made the world that we live in
Such a glorious place to be. "Take mine for your own life's motto

AUNT ELIZA CASON
To many of the older people of Clarinda the name Aunt Liza Cason brings to their memory a character such as is seldom seen in the present day. Aunt Liza had spent a great deal of her life in this community and was well known by many of the people of this town. She was a real old ex-slave and had known the hardships of the war days.
Aunt Liza died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Funchions of Glenwood last Wednesday morning May the 6th. The body was brought to Clarinda and the funeral was from the African Baptist church Thursday afternoon, Rev. Mr. W. M. Mitchell conducting the service. The following obituary was read at the funeral.
Mrs. Eliza Cason was born in Middle Tennessee, Western District, in the year 1834. Her maiden name was Eliza Renlends and she was married to Ephron Cason in her early twenties. To this union were born ten children, six of which have preceded her to the better land. Two girls and two boys, Mrs. Jane Funchions, Mrs. Hattie Free, Willis Cason and Albert Cason live to mourn her death. Besides the children she left seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Aunt Eliza had been a member of the Second Baptist church of this city for 45 years. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 14, 1914

His Home Paper on Mr. Cassat.
Corning Union-Republican, July 13: Corning people were shocked and grieved last Thursday when the news spread that Rev. David W. Cassat had died at his home in this city, of heart trouble. The gentleman had called a physician in the morning, under the impression that his stomach was troubling him. A short time later the doctor was again hastily summoned, but Mr. Cassat passed away before the doctor arrived. The funeral services were conducted Saturday from the Presbyterian church, Rev. W. C. Miles officiating, and burial was made in Walnut Grove cemetery.
David William Cassat was born in Hunterstown, Pa., May 21, 1844. He was graduated from Gettysburg college with the class of 1870, and last year it was his privilege to attend the fiftieth anniversary of the class at commencement time. He took the full three years course at Princeton theological seminary, where he graduated in 1873, and shortly afterward was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry. For almost a half century this good man preached the gospel of Jesus Christ, and it would be impossible to estimate the good he has accomplished in those years of service to men. He began his ministry in Pennsylvania, but soon moved to Iowa, holding pulpits in Emerson, Woodbine, Sac City, Vail, Independence, Hazelton, Platte Center, Prairie Star, and Mediapolis. Some eighteen years ago the family came to Corning, where they have since made their home, with the exception of a few years spent at Mediapolis.
Mr. Cassat was married at Red Oak on April 18, 1888, to Miss Lillian Berryhill. The fruit of their union was three sons and a daughter: Paul C, now a missionary of the Presbyterian board in China; Lyle M., of Clarinda; David B., of Dubuque, and Miss Lillian at home. There are also three grandchildren, all of whom are too young to realize the loss of Mr. Cassat.
At the time of the Civil war Mr. Cassat enlisted in the Union army and was privileged to be at Appomattox at the time of Lee's surrender. He also heard President Lincoln's immortal address on the field of Gettysburg.
His religion and his patriotism were of the sort that makes for a better citizenship, and he has always been a leader in the best things of life.
All of the children were present at the funeral, except the son who is in China. Also two sisters of Mrs. Cassat, Mrs. Lucien Dufresche, of Ponchatoula, La., and Mrs. Nino Berryhill, of Mason City; also Mrs. H. B. Dodds, an aunt, of Red Oak, were in attendance at the time. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 21, 1921

Rev. David Williams Cassat off Clarinda people will regret to hear of the death of Rev. David W. Cassat of Corning, la., who passed away last Thursday, death being very sudden, due to acute indigestion. Rev. Cassat was 77 years of age. He was a Presbyterian pastor for nearly fifty years, having retired from active duty about five years ago. The funeral was held at Corning Saturday afternoon. He is survived by his wife, and four children, a daughter, Miss Lillian; who lives at home, and three sons, Paul, who is a missionary in China, David, who is secretary of the Chamber Of Commerce in Dubuque, and Lyle of Clarinda, who is associated   with the Richardson [article end gone] CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 14, 1921

Rev. David Williams Cassat
David Williams Cassat died at his home in Corning, Iowa, Thursday, July 7, 1921. His death was sudden, caused by acute indigestion. Mr. Cassat was over 77 years of age and had been a Presbyterian minister for almost fifty years. He is survived by Mrs. Cassat and their four children: Rev. Paul Cassat of Tsinan, China; Lyle Cassat of Clarinda, David Cassat of Dubuque and Miss Lillian Cassat of Corning. Mr. Cassat and family from Clarinda were in attendance at the fuenral, which was held at the home in Corning Saturday afternoon. G. Wm. Richardson and W. S. Richardson of this city were also present.
The Messrs Richardson and Mrs. Lyle Cassat returned to Clarinda Saturday. Mr. Cassat remained in Corning until Monday at which time he motored to Red Oak with his mother and her sisters, Mrs. Dufrehse of Pontchatoula, La., and Miss Nina Berryhill of Mason City, Ill. The old home of these sisters was near Red Oak and they visited it Monday. Mrs. Dufrehse happened to be visiting in Mason City at the time of Mr. Cassat's death, so the sisters were able to be in attendance at the funeral. An aunt of Mrs. Cassat, Mrs. William Dodge, also accompanied them to Red Oak. From there they came to Clarinda where Mrs. Dufrehse and Miss Berryhill took the evening train for Mason City.
The late David Williams Cassat was a very able man—an earnest Christian and valuable in the ministry. He was heard at different times by Presbyterian congregations in Clarinda, and always to their benefit. After his son Lyle came to Clarinda to live the senior Mr. Cassat had a more than ordinary interest in visiting this city. Altogether he became known to many Clarinda people, who found in him a noble character—one whom they will remember kindly and regret that they now have met him for the last time here on earth.
Dr. A. B. Marshall, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Clarinda, attended theological school at Princeton, N. J., with the late Mr. Cassat. Dr. Marshall says that it is a pleasure for him to speak of Mr. Cassat that he had a very beautiful character, that he was very diligent, and as a pastor did very substantial church work, that his home and family influence was always good. Dr. Marshall also highly commends the work that Mr. Cassat did otherwise than as the pastor of a church—in representing The Continent, a well known publication.

On September 13, 1912, she was united in marriage to Guy Casteel, who mourns her loss today.
Edna joined the Methodist Episcopal church of Clarinda when 14 years of age and was a faithful attendant upon the church up to the time of her death.
Though she has left her loved ones for a time we feel that she is not dead but sleeps, and with the poet we say in triumph:
'Twas sown in weakness here, 'Twill then be raised in power:
That which was sown an earthly seed Shall rise a heavenly flower. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 5, 1914

A large congregation gathered at the Methodist Episcopal church in Yorktown last Wednesday, February 12, in honor of one who has been identified with the work of the community for nearly 45 years. One who was known and appreciated as an ideal mother. Mrs. Castle was a radiating center of all that was pure, wholesome and good in the community life. Her whole life was a constant reminder of the best things. Dominated by the Christian faith from her very youth up, she was enabled to pass through great and terrible afflications, such as have been experienced by a few only, and came out more beautiful and sweet in character. The love of Christ buoyed her by His infinite, unfailing strength. In Him she found her comfort. Again and again her testimony was that she felt the strong arms of the Almighty underneath her, and for a refuge and a covering she hid under the "Shadow of His Wings".
She was the daughter of James and Carrie McPherrin of Knoxville, Ill., born to them the first day of June, 1852. Here she grew to womanhood. At the age of 12 she gave herself to the keeping of her Savior and to His service. On the 19th day of September, 1870, she married Charles M. Castle. They came to Page County, Iowa, in 1875, and have resided in or near Yorktown ever since.
She was the mother of eleven children, three of whom, Alta, Grant, and Philo, preceded her to her heavenly home. There are left to mourn her, her husband and eight children. The children are J. O., George and Chas. E., all of Chicago, Ill., Logan, who is with the A.E.F. in France, Mrs. Mary Nelson of Stanton, Iowa, Mrs. C. Lois Rutt of Omaha, Nebr., Mrs. Francena Whitney of Yorktown and Florence, still at home. Besides these there is one sister, Mrs. Joe Booth of Shenandoah, and two brothers, Wm. McPherrin of Galesburg, Ill., and Frank of Walla Walla, Wash. Also six grand children.
She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of Yorktown. She lived the quiet life, sweet and beautiful, every day. Her whole life was one of real uplift and reassurance. To look upon her face was an inspiration. Her character lay revealed there. The beautiful lines of Whittier are truly applicable to her. "As pure and sweet her fair brow
seemed, Eternal as the sky, And like the brook's low song, her voice—
A sound, which cannot die.
The blessings of her quiet life Fell on us like the dew And good thoughts where her foot­steps passed— Like fairy blossoms grew.
Sweet promptings and kindest feeds,
Were in her very look,
We read her face as one who reads
A true and holy book.
Mrs. Castle passed away on Feb. 9, 1919. Her age was 66 yrs 8 mo and 8 days. She has gone to her reward. Like Paul, "She has fought a good fight, she has finished the course she has kept the faith."
A former pastor, the Rev. Benjamin R. Van Dyke, of Farragut, Iowa, an intimate friend of the family, had charge of the services and was assisted by the Yorktown M. E. pastor, Rev. Saunders. The music was three beautiful solos rendered by Mrs. J. W. Cozad of Clarinda.
Many beautiful floral offerings were given by friends of the family. The text was one suggested by the deceased herself, and is found in 2nd Tim. 4:7-8. After the services the remains were laid away in the Summit cemetery. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 20, 1919

Logan to Louisville, Ky., ready to push the French out of Mexico. But they were not needed and Henry came home a little over a month later than his regiment. He came to Iowa in 1867, settling in Adams county, near Corning, where he married and raised a family of six children, five girls and a son. The latter died two years ago.

Cavanaugh, Tom - TOM CAVANAUGH KILLED
Run Over by Train at Main Street Crossing Sunday Afternoon.
Sunday afternoon at 5:15 there occurred a very serious accident at the Main street crossing of the C. B. & Q. railroad; resulting in the instant death of Tom Cavanagh. The train from Bigelow had just pulled in and unloaded its St. Joe passengers.   This train is known in railway parlance as No. 53, and is due at 5:10.   She was on time. As usual the engine, which is facing north when she pulls in, was uncoupled and run around  the two coaches while the train was unloading, being then coupled to the coaches at their south end, preparatory to pulling the coaches down into the yards for the might. Engineer Don V.  Hurst was at the throttle, with his brother, Guy W. Hurst, as fireman.    Yardmaster T. A. Punshon had been in the passenger station telegraphing for an extra engine in the morning, and just before starting for the yards came and climbed into the engine. The engineer and fireman were in their box seats, with Pushon, standing on the deck of the engine between the two.    Conductor W. J Kennedy was standing on the station platform watching his train, it being usual for the conductor on this train  not to accompany the train back to the yards. Brakeman R. B. Hite had made the coupling between, the front of the engine and the first coach.    He then looked    through    the    coaches to make sure the train was empty, and stepping to the side of the platform he motioned and also called the signal  for the train to go ahead. The fireman  started the  bell to ringing by hand and it continued to ring by air all the time. Both engineer and fireman were looking the track ahead, and the conductor was watching the train, yet neither man saw that an accident was occurring and  a man being killed as the train  crossed Main street.    It appears from the testimony of witnesses that Cavanagh was crossing Main street in a diagonal direction, walking toward the corner of the Lisle plant, with his hands in his pockets and his head down, when struck unexpectedly by the tank of the engine that was running backwands at a slow rate of speed,  having just started. He was thrown, to the ground and the train passed over his chest, severing his head and left arm from the body and killing him instantly.    This occurred on, the crossing, but the body was dragged further into the railway right of way,
The accident was witnessed by parties walking up the street, also by J. C. Renfro from the door of the Burlington hotel, and by a boy named Cecil Curry, who, was in an engine on the stock train south of the accident and who signalled engineer Hurst to stop. But the entire train had passed over before it could be brought to a standstill. Brakeman Hite was walking through the train at the time of the accident and. was on the rear platform ready to put the lamps in place when the train stopped. As the train was crossing Main, street yardmaster Punshon, who does the repair work on the engines, noticed that the tank and fender ahead jarred some and asked the engineer whether the wedges on his driver were misplaced. Neither man realized that a tragedy was being enacted. It all occurred quicker than it takes to tell about it.
Coroner F. H. Clarke was notified and soon arrived in Lee Cleveland's auto. Also Sheriff Whitmore and Marshall Richardson were on the ground. C. H. Oates was summoned as undertaker and removed the remains to his undertaking parlors where they have have since been and where the funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Stevenson officiating, interment in the Clarinda cemetery.
Tom Cavanagh was about 55 years of age and for the past 8 or 9 years has been the trusted engineer at the Shambaugh flouring mills. On Sunday he had been cleaning the boiler, and had just fired up again. He then went to Charlie Coulter's restaurant, where Mrs. Coulter cooked him two hamburgers, after which he went to his little cottage on Main street across the track from the passenger station, where he has been living alone, renting it from Mrs. Forney. He got some fresh eggs from the chicken house, it is said, and took them into the house. Apparenlty he was returning again to look after his boiler fire, when the accident occurred which snuffed out his life.
Kavanagh leaves four children, but since the mother's death the family have been scattered, three of the children being adopted into other families. Wesley, who is 18 years old and Elsie a year or two older, belong to the family of Mr. VanValkenburg, Villisca, also a girl of ten years is Gracie Lanning of Van Meter, Ia. The next youngest daughter is Carrie, a freshman in the Clarinda high school, who lives with Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Bolton and Miss Jessie Bolton. Her father has been paying for her board and expenses, but friends will be glad to know that the Bolton's say Carrie will be taken care of the same as if she were their daughter and the fact of her being lame will not prevent her going on and securing a high school education. The Villisca son and daughter were in Clarinda Monday and Tuesday, but the Van Meter daughter was unable to come.
The coroner's jury, Chas. E. McDowell, T. J. Hawthorne and E. E. Garver, had two sessions Monday in Dr. Clarkes office. Many witnesses were examined, resulting in the following verdict: "We find that the deceased came to his death by being knocked down and run over by train No. 53 as he was crossing Main street and as the train was backing into the yards from the depot."
From the testitmony of the witnesses it would appear that none of the train crew can be blamed for the accident. Conductors Kenneday and Weber both agree that the train, was being handled the same as this train has been handled every Sunday for several years. Every mam was at his post doing his duty. It was necessary to attach the engine to the rear of the coaches when pulling to the yards in order that the coaches could be then run on the switch and the engine be free to pull out and go to the roundhouse. With an engine running backward, neither the engineer nor the foreman are able to see the track immediately ahead, the tank and fender being in the way. Into this small space walked Tom Kavanagh without seeing the engine in motion and met his death accordingly. Conductor Sawtelle was lucky in taking a lay­off last Sunday, as this would ordinarily have been his run. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 6, 1913

A terrible accident occurred at the Burlington railroad crossing on East Main street about  5 o'clock Sunday evening which cost Thos. Cavanagh his life in an instant.  The passenger train which had just arrived from the south was in the act of switching the coaches to their place before the engine was taken to the round house.   While backing up at the crossing, Mr. Cavanagh, who was engineer at the Shambaugh flouring mills, it seems was on the way from his home at the first house east of the railroad track to the mill to look after the fire and when nearly across the track the tender to the engine backing up struck him, throwing his body across the rail and the wheels severed his body in two leaving the head and shoulder in one place and the remainder of his person in another.    Why he failed to see or hear the engine is a mystery.    There were three train men on the engine, which they claim was going three or four miles an hour, and all say they saw no person near until after the accident.   The coroner's jury returned a verdict that he came to his death by being struck by a railroad engine. It is a very singular and awful incident and causes one to wonder if Mr. Cavanagh had not lived his alloted time in this world.   He was about 59 years of age, a quiet and industrious man, having lived here many years, He was the father of four children, his wife dying about 14 years ago, leaving a crippled babe about one year old whom the father has long provided a home for with Mr. Bolton.    She is a very bright and amiable girl, ever happy and light hearted, with never an apparent regret over the misfortune of a withered limb requiring her to wear a crutch, and always at the head of her class in school. A boy and girl were adopted by Chas. Van Valkenberg of  Valley township several years ago, and the other girl lives over east of here.    For a long time Mr. Cavanagh had lived all alone and the past eight years had been engineer for Ira Shambaugh.   The funeral was held at the undertaking parlors of Chas. Oates Tuesday at 2 p. m., conducted by Rev. Wm. Stevenson and the remains laid to rest by the side of his wife. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 6, 1913

Glenn Cavender, a nephew of Charles and Ed Cavender, of this city, was injured in a railway accident between Omaha and Sioux City two weeks ago today, and died in the Samaritan hospital in Sioux City Monday morning at 10:30, his mother being at his bedside at the time of his death. He was twenty-seven years of age and single. The body was brought to Clarinda for interment yesterday, and the services were conducted by Rev. A. K. Lewis at the Baptist church. Glenn was raised in Clarinda and will be remembered by a great many of our readers.
The accident, which resulted in his death, occurred during the run of the freight train, upon which he was a brakeman, between Omaha and Sioux City. The train was a long one, and on a steep grade the engineer stopped to cut the train in two so as to pull it to the siding, on top of the hill, a section at a time. They had cut the train in two, and Cavender had signalled to the engineer to go ahead. He then stepped between the sections to set the coupling, and the engineer, not knowing that Cavender was there, backed the first section in order to get the advantage of the slack in starting and caught Cavender between the draw heads of the two sections, crushing his hips terribly. He was taken on to Sioux City and given every attention, but could not recover. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 9, 1909
