IL, October 17, 1901: "Killed Near Creston, IA. William B. Reardon Meets With Fatal Accident. William B. Reardon, of Quincy, met with an accident on Monday that resulted in his death. He left home two weeks ago as a member of a gang of men, to do some iron work on a bridge on the Burlington Route near Creston, Ia. How he met with the accident is not yet known. Mr. Reardon was a native of Kentucky, but was reared by an uncle living in Lewis county, Mo. He celebrated the 28th anniversary of his birthday last June. His wife was formerly Miss Mary E. Stone, of New Canton, this county, who had made her home with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Monroe. The marriage took place at the home of the bride about nine years ago. The wife and a little son are left to mourn the death of kind husband and father. The family has resided in Quincy about two years. Thanks to the forethought of the husband, Mrs. Reardon will receive insurance amounting to $2750-$2000 from the Modern Woodmen of America and the balance from the Burlington Relief Association. The remains were taken to New Canton, where the funeral services will be held today at 11 o'clock a.m., Rev. W.M. Hailey officiating. The remains will then be brought to Barry to be buried in Park Lawn cemetery."
