Source,Rutland, Vt. Daily Herald--Mon.Mar.3, 1913. NEWS OF THE CITY. HORSE VICTIM, Trolley Span Wire Heavily Charged With Electricity Fell to the Street, Animal Evidently Connected With Rail and Wire A horse owned by Henry Kinsella, proprietor of the Kinsella fish market on West street, was killed instantly by electricity early Saturday evening when it is supposed the have stepped on a live trolley wire which had just dropped to the pavement at the corner of West street and Merchants row. People were passing at the time, and the instant rush to see what had caused the animal to collapse was stopped just in time to avert fatalities. As it was, it was one of the " luckiest " accidents which occurred in some time, and it is considered little less than a miracle that none of the many men and women in the vicinity blundered into the death trap. Archie Higgins , who was driving the animal, was uninjured. The accident occurred shortly before 6 o'clock Saturday evening. The west-bound main line car had just passed, and in some manner the trolley pole had interfered with the span wire across the street. One end of the span wire fell to the street, lying across the track and touching the rails, and almost immediately Mr. Higgins started to drive across the track.The animal dropped as if shot, and it is supposed either touched the wire, the rail, or stepped into a small pool of water which conducted the electricity to its body. The horse was immediately dragged away. Mr. Kinsella said last night that the animal was a valuable one, being in fine condition. A. A.Warren was motorman of the car, and Robert Murphy, conductor.

From LEAD BELT NEWS, Flat River, St. Francois Co. MO, Wed. June 2, 1965 DESCENDANTS ATTEND RITES MARKING GRAVE OF CAPTAIN COTTLE Mrs. H. L. Adams of 101 Coffman, Flat River and her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. John Newcomer of Elvins, were in St. Charles, Mo., May 15 for the dedication of a Revolutionary War marker at the grave of Captain Warren Cottle, great-great-grandfather of Mrs. Adams. The St. Charles D.A.R. sponsored the event and members of V.F.W., Kohl-Jeck Post 2866, assisted in the ceremony and also set the tomb stone furnished by the government. D.A.R. State Regent, Mrs. Clarence Kemper of Clinton, officiated at the unveiling of the marker at the beginning of the dedicatory program Saturday afternoon at Oak Grove Cemetery in St. Charles. Cottle descendants from several states and cities were present for the ceremony. Mrs. Adams' brother, Bernard Cottle of Rowaytown, Conn., read a biographical sketch prepared by Dr. Eugene Cottle of Laramie, Wyo., on the life of Captain Warren Cottle, who was born in 1755 and died in 1811. A native of Massachusetts, Warren Cottle moved with his parents to the Vermont wilderness (then a part of the New York state territory) around 1770. The Cottles operated various business enterprises and Warren also served in local and state government posts while living in South Woodstock, Vermont. He married Relief Farnsworth of Charleston, New Hampshire, and their five sons and two daughters were all born in Vermont. Records of the military service of Captain Warren Cottle [is] authenticated by several historical sources. It is noted that he maintained a militia enlistment from 1776 to 1783 and was a commander of a Vermont company in Peter Olcott's Regiment in 1777. He was Captain of the 4th Company Infantry in South Woodstock and was associated with the Vermont militia exploits of the well-known Allens of Vermont. In describing the arrival of the Cottles in Missouri, the biographical sketch relates: "The great move by Captain Warren Cottle and his family to the Spanish country west of the Mississippi River demonstrates the hardy character and adventurous personality of this man. He doubtless envisioned an expanding nation and once again desired to be on the frontier, the advancing line of settlement. Records show that Captain Warren Cottle and his sons, Dr. Warren Cottle, Jr. and Ira Cottle, took Spanish grants in what was to become Dardenne Township of St. Charles County. Sylvanus Cottle, a brother of Captain Warren Cottle, took land in Cuivre Township. There was a fairly large company of settlers which Captain Cottle led from Vermont to the new land. Besides his immediate family, some of his brothers and their families came, as did also some of the Farnsworth relatives of Captain Cottle's wife. The fact that this fairly extensive number of people were willing to risk the many hazards of a journey into unknown, unsettled, and foreign country under the supervision of this one man attests to the qualities of leadership and responsibility which were apparent in the character of Captain Warren Cottle. "Soon after arriving in the new country, Captain Cottle built a mill on the Dardenne Creek to serve the settlers who were beginning to arrive in the region from the East. Apparently the families of this settlement prospered and evidence of their complete satisfaction in the new country appears in a letter written by Captain Cottle to relatives in New York State. "Once more we find Captain Cottle rising to the defense of his community as a record in the United States Territorial Papers carries an account of his leading a group of twenty men in 1804 against Indian depredations in the Cuivre settlement. Capt. Cottle died at his home in Dardenne Township on April 11, 1811. He was buried in the nearby plot where others of this early group of settlers had found a burial place. This old cemetery, no longer in existence, was on land owned by the Cottle family and was adjacent to the village of Cottleville, which was founded in 1840 by Lorenzo Cottle, who was a son of Dr. Warren Cottle, Jr. "So closed the life of this active and dynamic American whose work with that of many others of his generation helped to establish a nation."

Mrs. Stearns has always been a healthy and active women and her death was a surprise to all. On the morning of her death, she was apparently as strong as usual, but in going into her bedroom, she fell as if in a faint. She was assisted onto her bed, where a few moments later she was a corpes. Hers was an exemplary life. She had always been active in upholding the doctrine taught by the Congregational Church. She was born in Vermont in 1803 and lived with her parents until 1829 when she was united in marriage to David. E. Emery. A short time afterward they moved to New York City which place had been their home for quite a number of years. Concluding that the west offered better inducements, in 1841 they migrated westward and settled on a farm near Lake Mills, and in 1844 they moved onto the farm in the town of York now owned by W.H. Cole. Ten years l!   ater her husband died and she and her children continued to reside at the same place. Her children having all got married, about eighteen years ago, she went back to her old home in Vermont and a short time afterwards was united in marriage to a man named Stearns, who died two years ago. Last March she came back here and had since lived with her daughter, Mrs. W.H. Cole. Two daughters, Mrs. W.H. Cole, and Mrs. Abner Pettey, and one son, Levy Emery are left to mourn her loss. Her only son arrived here the evening after her burial. The funeral services were held at M.E. Church 2pm Wednesday, Rev.
