SELECTED DEATH NOTICES FROM JACKSON COUNTY, KANSAS, NEWSPAPERS, VOLUME I 1872 - 1885. COMPILED BY DAN FENTON.
Notice #809.
A Terrible Accident Which Results In The Death Of One Of Our
Citizens. Yesterday, a little before noon, our city was shocked with the intelligence that Mrs. Million, Mrs. R. M. Cook's mother had been thrown from a buggy and was killed, on the road just. west of town. In the afternoon we gathered the following particulars of the sad accident. The deceased had came to town in the morning, in a buggy with Mr. A. Newman. Starting. home a little before noon, Mr. Newman stopped near S. Newmans residence and went over to his brother's place to look at some stock, leaving Mrs. Million in the buggy. Shortly after Newman had left, one of the city butchers came along, the man driving a beef cow, and was near the buggy, met Mr. Ed. Vetter going home. The cow which probably was mad from having been driven off against her inclination,. made a lunge at Mr. Vetter and was only prevented from goring him, by the butcher rushing in and whipping her over the head. The commotion scared Newman's team, which started to run diagonally across the road, and instead of running into the barbed wire fence, they made a short turn, throwing Mrs. Million forward and across the jagged wire, which cut her throat and jugular veins, causing death almost instantly. The unfortunate lady was taken to Mr. Vetter's but she was past all help. In the afternoon the remains were taken to the residence of Mrs. Cook's, from where she will be buried today.
The Holton Recorder, November 1, 1883.

My sincerest thanks to V. Flesher for finding/obtaining this information. While it saddens me to know how she died, you have given me more knowledge of my Great-Great-Grandmother. ~ Melodie Moore
