WARNING: the description of the death is very graphic. "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Thursday, March 22, 1900 A WOMAN KILLED. Mrs. Adelaide BURNHAM, 56 years old, a widow who recently moved from Golden City, Mo., to Kansas City, was instantly killed yesterday afternoon by a Summit street cable train, at Ninth street and Grand avenue, and dragged half a block underneath the grip car. Nearly every bone in the body was broken and her head was crushed so as to be almost unrecognizable. Coroner LESTER was notified and he and Deputy McNEIL visited the scene of the accident. They decided to hold an inquest to-day at 10 a.m. The remains were removed to Wagner's undertaking rooms, where they were identified by the landlady at 1204 McGee street, where Mrs. BURNHAM had been living with her son, B. R. BLACKMER, for the past three weeks. The accident took place about 1:30 o'clock. A few minutes before the accident the woman met Officer Harry ADAMS at the corner of Eleventh street and Grand avenue and asked him the way to Sixth street. After being given the direction, she asked him where the police station was and, being told, started north in the direction of police headquarters. The officer followed on his beat and when the accident happened he was possibly 150 feet behind the woman, and made a desperate attempt to reach her before she was struck but was unable to do so. As Mrs. BURNHAM reached Ninth street, she started across the street, when two carriages darted ahead from the north to cross the street in front of an approaching Summit street train, which was going west. Dr. W. F. KUHN, who witnessed the accident, says that one carriage succeeded in crossing, but the other was prevented by the flagman of the street car line, who was doing his utmost to prevent an accident. Dr. KUHN was riding on the front seat of the grip car which struck the woman, and he saw the accident all the more plainly as he stood up in his seat, fearing that the pole of the carriage which passed in front of the car would strike him. At this time he said that the gripman had no possible chance to stop his car if he had seen the woman who then appeared just as soon as the carriage cleared the grip car. Some one called out and the woman stopped a moment as if terrified and in another second she had been struck. More than a hundred persons rushed to the car and lifted it bodily into the air, allowing others to pull the crushed remains of the woman from beneath. It was taken to the alley and Dr. KUHN examined it and pronounced life extinct. When first taken from under the car there was a slight breathing but this stopped in a minute. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

"The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Tuesday, October 4, 1898 MAD DOG BITES A CHILD. A mad dog created consternation in the streets of Argentine yesterday morning, and in his wild course attached Ada WILLIAMS, the little daughter of Fireman WILLIAMS of the Santa Fe and bit her terribly about the legs and thigh. The dog was crossing the tracks of the electric road when a car ran into it. The canine seemed to become crazed at once, and ran down the street snapping at everything that was within reach. Little Ada was on her way to school and could not get out of the way of the infuriated beast. She fell to the ground and was only rescued when the city marshall appeared upon the scene and put a bullet in the dog's brain. The wounded girl was removed to her home on Ruby avenue and attended to by Dr. ALEXANDER. The dog had succeeded in biting a number of other dogs before he was killed, and now the officers are on the lookout for all stray curs. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
