VA ------- The Shenandoah Herald Wednesday, 3 December 1879 Page 3, Column 2 ACCIDENT Mrs. Maddison Coverstone was thrown from a horse last Wednesday and dragged a short distance. She received severe injuries from which we understand she is recovering. She had been married in Maryland and was on her return, having gone from this place on horseback. Her hat was about falling off her head, and she dropped the reins to catch it. Her horse was frightened by the sudden movement of her hands, and gave a quick jump by which she was unseated. Her horse ran into the woods and while Mrs. Coverstone's foot hung in the stirrup her head came in contact with a tree. It was a sad ending of a lively bridal tour but it was fortunate that she escaped with her life. ----- 1880 Federal Census: Virginia Johnston Township, ED 85, Shenandoah County Enumerated 25 June 1880 Page 418B Lines 42-47, HH 406/423 M.

She was a native of Virginia but had lived in Ashland for the past 18 years and has reared a splendid family of sons and daughters. her industry and courage in the support and education of her family have made her life a beautiful example of mother love. She had the friendship and highest respect of all who knew her. Three sons and three daughters survive. Gary Feagan, the eldest son, was for years employed here by Charles lordier, the druggist. He now is located in California, and is unable to come to attend his mother's funeral. Guy and Dewey, the younger boys, are at home. Of the daughters, Mrs. C. B. Wilson lives in Columbus. The unmarried daughters are Misses Mary and Ina Feagan. The funeral will be conducted from the home next Sunday. The hour for the service has not been announced.
