Friday, 21 June 1912--DEATH OF T. B. KIMBROUGH--Thomas Brummel Kimbrough died at 3:45 o'clock this morning at the family home, 735 West Reed street. The surviving relatives are the wife and two children, Roscoe H. Kimbrough and Mrs. J. A. Cook. Mr. Kimbrough was born January 19, 1838, on his father's farm near Renick. He was educated at Mount Pleasant college, which in the early days was the center of learning in Randolph county as well as a large section of the north part of Missouri. In 1874 he was married to Miss Carolyn Vroom, the faithful wife who now mourns his death. When fifteen years of age he became a member of the Baptist church and remained faithful to its beliefs during the years of his long and useful life. In early manhood he taught school but for forty years he has pursued the practice of law which was his chosen profession. A devoted husband and father, kind neighbor and faithful friend, a public spirited citizen and an earnest christian man all of the days of his life were spent in Randolph county. While Mr. Kimbrough did not amass a large store of earthly goods he was a good husband and father who always provided well for the needs of his loved ones. Honest and industrious, upright and courageous he was to be found on the right side of all moral questions. Having lived a life which was an open book he leaves to his son and daughter the priceless heritage of an unsullied name and the knowledge that they have the hope of an everlasting reunion beyond this vale of tears. The wife and mother will ever have the sweet recollection of the man whose earthly years were spent in the upbuilding of a happy earthly home which is the symbol of the life eternal even the heavenly home. The funeral will be conducted by Rev. E. F. Wright, in the Baptist church at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Burial in Oakland cemetery--Moberly Democrat.

Friday, 21 June 1912--FREAKS OF SATURDAY STORM--During the storm on Saturday George Manuel's mother who lives in Randolph, near Kansas City, had almost a miraculous escape from the storm. Just when the storm was beginning a neighbor lady who was calling on Mrs. Manuel said that she had to go home and as she was afraid of storms she asked Mrs. Manuel to go with her. So the two ladies in company with Miss Lettie Manuel, a sister of George Manuel, and Kenneth Green, a son of Pleas Green, of this city, who is a grandson of Mrs. Manuel, started across the street. they had just got inside the house when the wind descended in full fury and when they looked out of the window, Mrs. Manuel's house had been blown away. The departure from their home had not been a moment too soon. A frame business house was blown from its foundation and the building was almost destroyed. Strange to relate Mrs. Manuel's place was set on the foundation of the store. the house was very badly damaged and the occupants are thankful that they escaped uninjured.

(Note: I am pretty sure this isn't accurate. The late John Terrill, if the paper is referring to the man who died in Dec of 1911, was only 10 years older than this woman. She might have been a sister, but if so, she probably wouldn't have been born in Moberly, but in Kentucky.)

Mrs. Pattrick was quite badly shocked and states that she felt as if she were being pricked by countless millions of pins.

Robb and wife, who make their home at the West Side Hotel with the latter's parents, Tobe Perkins and wife, have two children who are peculiarly afflicted and whom physicians so far have failed to relieve. Two weeks ago the oldest child, a boy of four, was taken with a slight attack of sore throat. When the soreness began to leave the throat in three or four days, the child's legs began to grow weak, and in a few days it had lost the entire use of them from the hips down. Two days later their 2-year-old child was attacked in the same manner. It is still able to use its legs, but only with the greatest difficulty. Friday, 21 June 1912--Mrs. H. L.

The snake was killed by members of the family who were attracted by Mrs. Thompson's screams. Kathy Bowlin
