Thursday, October 10, 1895 California Democrat HEADLONG TO THEIR DEATH Horrible Death of Mrs. Louisa Jobe of Clarksburg, Mo. and Mrs. Minnie McLeod of Kansas City, Kan - They attempted to Board an Overcrowded Car - Standing on the Steps the Mother Losses Her Hold and Drags Her Daughter With Her From the Kansas City Times, Oct. 4th Two women dashed to death in the presence of a train load of horrified people powerless to save them. Thrown from a car on the elevated railway and over the trestle work to the street below, a distance of about twenty-two feet and almost instantly killed. This terrible accident occurred last night about 7:15 o'clock. The victims were Mrs. Minnie McCleod, wife of Dr. Alfred R. McCloud, of 718 Simpson Avenue, Riverview, Kansas City, Kan., and her mother, Mrs. Louisa Jobe, of Clarksburg, Mo. Yesterday morning the two ladies came to Kansas City to attend the last day's festivities of carnival week. They called on friends and with the latter had a most delightful time watching the sights and the great parade in the afternoon. When they were ready to return home they went to the corner of Eighth and Delaware streets to board a car. Everyone was crowded to the guards, so they decided to walk over to the station at Ninth and Mulberry streets, about a mile away, and take a car there, figuring that they would have a better chance to avoid the crowds at this point than further up-town. Just after they reached this station a Chelsea car, run by Conductor R. J. Murray and Moterman E. C. Reekman and bound for Kansas City, Kan., drew up at the platform. The car was crowded and as it stopped to let off passengers the two ladies attempted to board it. Conductor Murray to them there was no room for them in the car and shut the guard gates in their faces. As he gave the signal to go ahead and as the motorman started the car Mrs. McCleod caught the hand railing on the rear steps and tried to swing herself on the car. It is not quite clear whether her mother grasped the rail also or whether she grabbed her daughter to pull her off the car. In the meantime the car had passed beyond the depot platform, a distance of about thirty feet from where it stopped. As the conductor noticed that it was dragging the ladies, but before he could give the signal for it to stop Mrs. Jobe lost her hold and fell, dragging Mrs. McCleod after her. Both women in falling struck the edge of the trestle, rolled over it and plungeded headlong to the street below. In falling Mrs. Jobe struck her head against the superstructure of the trestle and she landed on the street in a sitting posture, striking with terrible force. The blow on the head crushed the skull frightfully, and she must have been killed before she struck the ground. Her daughter struck upon her side, falling directly across the lifeless body of her mother. She died within an hour. She was conscious before her death and told those who ran to her aid who she was and where she resided. There were very few people in the neighborhood when the women fell to their death. Howard Reed, a young carnival reveler, was in the hotel of Edward Kelly, located at the corner where the accident occurred, and heard the bodies strike upon the pavement. He rushed out to where they lay and with the assistance of several others who had gathered around the bodies, carried them into Kelly's sample room. It was while Mrs. McCleod was being removed that she spoke and she lived about an hour after her fall. Besides a fractured skull, Mrs. Jobe had both legs and her right wrist boken. She weighed about 200 pounds and her internal injuries were no doubt of a terrible character. She was also badly cut about the head and face. Mrs. McCleod sustained no other injury than a fracture of the skull over the right eye, but this was fatal. The bodies were laid out on a table in the dining room of Kelly's hotel, where Deputy Coroner W. S. Wheeler viewed them, and then he had them removed to the undertaking establishment of Stewart & Carroll, 1216 Walnut Street, where they now lie. Dr. McCleod received news of the terrible accident shortly after it occurred. He telephoned Deputy Coroner Wheeler and after hearing a description of the ladies, he identified them as his wife and mother-in-law, who had been visiting at his home. At 11 o'clock the doctor arrived here from Kansas City, Kan., and went directly to the morgue where the bodies lay. He is a cripple and walked into the place on crutches. He viewed the bodies with composure, but the terrible calamity was an awful shock to him, and he became so weak that he had to be assisted out of the dead room. Mrs. McCleod was 28 years of age and had been married to the doctor only eleven months. She had a wide circle of acquaintances in Kansas City, Kan., as well as many friends in this city. Mrs. Jobe was 55 years of age. Just when the inquest will be held has not yet been decided. Mrs. McCleod's body will be buried alongside that of her mother in Clarksburg. THE INQUEST The coroner's jury Monday last at Kansas City completed the investigation and gave the following verdict: "We, the jury find that Minnie McCleod came to her death by falling from the station platform on the elevated railroad at Ninth and Mulberry streets Kansas City, October 3, 1895, while trying to board a moving train on said road after being told by conductor not to do so." At the investigation some six or eight passengers who were on the car were examined and it appears the bulk of the testimony was to the effect that when the car stopped the platform gate was closed and the conductor told the parties who attempted to board the train not to do so, but it appears the ladies who had been for an hour waiting for a car followed the car up holding on until they got beyond the platform, when they fell through the tracks to the street below. Some thought they were on the steps of the cars, others thought they were simply holding to the moving car. Attorney C. B. Riley appeared before the jury for the friends of the deceased. AT CLARKSBURG The remains of mother and daughter reached Clarksburg Friday night and were buried in one grave at the new Masonic cemtery Saturday. Quite a number of ladies and gentlemen from Kansas City accompanied the remains, twelve Kansas City gentlemen acting as pall-bearers. The funeral discourse was preached by Rev. Pollard of the Baptist Church. Mrs. Jobe was the wife of Wilson Jobe, of Clarksburg, and a lady who was highly spoken of by the community at large, and Mrs. McCleod was her daughter, marrying Dr. McCleod about a year ago. Mrs. Jobe's maiden name was Parks, a daughter of Jesse C. Parks, of Illinois, who was a brother of Wm. Parks, of this city. Two of Mrs. Jobe's brothers, John and George Parks, came in from Illinois and attended the funeral. There was a large attendance at the funeral, and everybody in deep sympathy with Mr. Jobe and the bereaved ones.
