I know nothing more about this family. I'm not related. Found this article in a book I have called PIONEER TIMES, a quarterly publication of the mid-Missouri Genealogical society, Inc. Vol 11 No. 1. Jan 1987. The following newspaper clippings were pasted in an old scrap book. The collector is unknown. the county is thought to be Crawford, and the Newspaper is believed to be from Cuba, Missouri. The dates are approximately 1891 or 92. AN AWFUL ACCIDENT On Thuesday (sic) last Mrs. David McIntosh living on the old Henry Smith place met with an appalling accident, that scarcely has a parrallel (sic). Her husband had gone to Wisconsin, on a visit, taking their child with him, and the woman was entirely alone. Some years ago Mr. Reagan, of Midland, sold McIntosh a Jersey bull, and it was kept on the place. Mrs. McIntosh was in the habit of leading it from the lot where kept to the field and tying it to a stake. This she attempted to do on Thursday, about noon. She had hold of a rope and was leading him by a ring in the nose, when he attacked her, and knocking her down, commenced goring her frightfully. He tore great shreds of flesh from her legs and arms, and finally disemboweled her. She fought the maddened animal, desperately, and finally caught the ring in his nose and twisted it. He threw up his head which drew her to her feet, and catching her bowels in her hands, she ran for her life, and finally reached the house, one hu! ndred and fifty yards away. She succeeded to getting on in a bed and there she lay alone in her agony, for several hours, until a neighbor, THOMAS RANDOLPH, called to borrow a saddle. He saw the blood everywhere and entering the house found the moaning and suffering woman, more dead than alive, and yet able to tell how the awful affair had occurred. JOHN FLEMING her father was sent for and soon arrived with Doctors HARDESTY and MARTYN, who did all in human skill for the poor woman. The bowels were perforted (sic) in two places and the only possible chance for the woman's life was in stitching the broken parts together, which was done, and antiseptic washes applied. One of the most remarkable occurrences in connection with the affair, was an act on the part of the woman which shows unparalleled fortitude. No doubt fearing the burglars that had been operating in the neighborhood; some time before, Mrs. McIntosh had buried what money she had and realizing the nature of her hu! rt and fearing the secret might die with her and her child be deprived of the money, she dragged her suffering body to the place of concealment, dug up the money, and took it to the bed with her, that in case she died before help arrived, her child's legacy would be found by her dead body. No Spartan mother ever performed an act of great heroism. Up to the time of going to press Mrs. McIntosh is alive and some hopes are entertained that she may live. I've found a David McIntosh (73) in the 1910 Mo. census of Crawford Co., with his 2nd wife, of 24 years, Rachel, 50, and 2 living children (they had 3). Being married 24 years in 1910, they got married about 1886. Looking in the 1880 census of Crawford Co., I've found John Flemming, Rachel's father, and Rachel, 21. She evidently lived after the goring!
