Thorn, Winfield S. - AGED COIN RESIDENT SHOT WITH RIFLE
Winfield S. Thorn Found With Bullet Hole in Head Tuesday Morning at His Home
Coroner R. E. Harmon was called to Coin Tuesday morning, to examine into the circumstances surrounding the death of Winfield S. Thorn, an aged resident of that city, who had been found in the out­house in the rear of his residence in the west part of town, with a bullet hole in the right side of his head, above the ear. For many years Mr. Thorn lived on his farm northeast of Coin, moving to town, about two years ago. Thursday morning he arose and ate breakfast as usual, assisted his wife to do the milking, and then told her he was going out to shoot rats, taking along a 22 cal. rifle. Not hearing from him for a time, Mrs. Thorn, went to investigate, and found him in the outhouse, where he had been shot in the head. This was at 7:30 Tuesday morning. He was brought to the house, but passed away soon afterward. It was the duty of the doctor and authorities to report the case for investigation, by the coroner, who decided the man had come to his death from a rifle shot in his own hands.
Mr. Thorn was 81 years of age the 20th of last April. He has been somewhat despondent of physical ailments recently, which may have led him to take his own life, although some believe the shot was accidental.
Besides his wife, Martha W. Thorn, he leaves a son, William Thorn on the farm, and a daughter, Mrs. Rosa Wallman, of Oakland, California. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jun 23, 1921

Tidball, Arthur - Arthur Tidball died last Thursday evening, at the home of his parents, Mr and Mrs John Tidball, in north Clarinda. For several years past the young man had been a great sufferer from a terrible bone disease which baffled all medical skill and slowly destroyed his right foot and ankle and left lower arm. But he patiently bore his affliction with the hope some day being fully restored to health. He was 25 years of age, and a kind, intelligent and upright young man. His early demise is deeply regreted by all. The funeral took place at 2:30 Sunday, conducted by Rev Smith and Rev IlgenFritz, and his remains laid to rest in the city cemetery in the presence of a host of sympathizing friends.

Arthur Tidball Dead  
Arthur, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Tidball, died at his home in north Clarinda yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, after five years of suffering, from disease of the limbs. Lack of space prevents extended mention of the particulars today, but we can say from personal knowledge that during all the time that the peculiar and unconquerable disease was eating away the life of this young man, he was ever as patient and hopeful a person as we have ever known. Instead of giving up or bewailing his lot, he always hoped to recover, so that he could repay his parents for their kindness. His right foot and his left arm were afflicted, it is thought, from a disease of the bone that originated from an accident five years ago, when his ankle was run over by a wagon. For a time the young man could travel slowly with crutches, but for several years he has been confined to his home, and for the last year he has not been able to be moved in his bed. His case is a very pitiful one, indeed, but since he could not recover, it is undoubtedly best that he should not linger to suffer. He was aged twenty-five years, three months and four days, and was a bright, active, Christian boy, a member of the Presbyterian church, respected by all who knew him. His parents and family have the deepest sympathy of the community in their grief. Funeral services will be held at the home on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, by Dr. T. C. Smith and Rev. E. E. IlgenFritz. Friends of the family are invited. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 15, 1901
