JOHN M. CAHALL IS DEAD AT BICKNELL

John M. Cahall, who has been ill for the past month died Sunday at his home in Bicknell says the Bicknell News. Mr. Cahall was taken several weeks ago to the Good Samaritan hospital at Vincennes to undergo an operation for tumor of the stomach. In the operation it was found that he had cancer of the stomach instead. He was then brought to his home two or three weeks later, since that time he has been in a very critical condition and suffered much.

Last Sunday he and his family thought that daeth had claimed him and he called them to his bed-side [sic] and bid them all goodbye and requested that they bury him in Kentucky. But he lived until this Sunday.

He was 56 years, 11 months and 26 days old. He leaves a wife and four children, Mrs. Ethel Edgar of Madisonville, Ky., Mrs. Nell Cavins of Evansville by a former marriage and Miss Estelle and John Allen Cahall of this city; two brothers and two sisters, Charles A. Cahall, of Owensboro, Ky., James A. Cahall of Hawesville, y., Mrs. Effie Arba and Mrs. Cordia Downs, both of Cloverport, Ky.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR MISS JENNIE CHICK.

Funeral services for Miss Jennie Chick, who died at the Good Samaritan hospital early Thursday morning, were conducted at 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon from the Gardner Chapel. Dr. T. H. Willis, a former pastor of the Methodist church of which Miss Chick was a faithful member, was in charge of the services. Mrs. Will TeWalt sang. Miss Chick for 24 years lived in the home of Mrs. B. B. Griffith. The following tribute by Robert G. Moore was read at the funeral.

It was in the year of 1896 that Miss Jenny Chick came to Vincennes and to Doctor and Mrs. M. G. Moore. She came as a homeless woman, inflicted too early with the burdens and responsibilities of life, yet possessing an exceptionally enviable cheerfulness and determination.

She came as a servant girl, her happiness, her strength, her courage was found to be in making innumerable willing sacrifices for the happiness of others -- and so it was found. What could have been a more lofty, more noble purpose in life than to serve others?

Throughout the many years that followed she was ever at her task, and what a wonderful task it was. A great happiness came to her friends, and she rejoiced with them, a deep sorrow came and she mourned it as hers. Such was her constant unwavering sympathy and devotion for them.

My memory of her comes to me as a stream of beautiful thoughts and kind deeds. The memory of my boyhood days, is full of her tender sympathy and understanding. Her mind was ever alert with radiant helpfulness and her hands have been worn with the doing of kind deeds.

And now, that life, at the heighth [sic] of its fullness, with its task so nobly accomplished as passed on to One with whom we place every confidence, and I mourn deeply with her many friends.

BOY DROWNS IN WHITE RIVER

Charles Corbin Drowned In River Four Miles South of Sandborn Sunday Afternoon -- Body Was Recovered.

Charles Corbin, 16 year old son of Mrs. James Core, of Sandborn was drowned at 4 o’clock Sunday noon [sic] in White River.

Corbin, along with Ossa Jackson, James Skeel, George Sample, and John Asher was swimming in the river four miles south of Sandborn. While wading about a sandbar, he stepped into a hole and was carried by the swift current into water far beyond his depth. Unable to swim, the unfortunate lad sank at once.

As he came up the third time, Osa Jackson attempted to catch the drowning youth. His strength was not sufficient for the task, and to save his own life he was compelled to let loose. The form then sank out of sight for the last time.

The boys rushed to give the alarm and soon the river bank was crowded with people. Divers plunged into the water near where the boy was last seen hunting the river bed.

As darkness approached a rope was stretched across the river and two men in boat guiding themselves by the rope felt with long poles along the river bottom. At length the boy's body was found wedged beneath a log in about 8 feet of water and only a few feet from where he sank.

Frank Lemen, who had arrived two or three hours before, in response to a hurry call, led the mother away from the scene before the body was brought to the shore.

Charles Corbin is the step son of James Core. He has eight brothers and sisters.

The funeral is to be held at the home at 3 o’clock Tuesday afternoon.

DEATH DUE TO CANCER

Word Received Here Monday of the Death of W. R. Crackle, Prominent Citizen of Vincennes at Battle Creek, Mich.

William R. Crackel, aged 58 years, died at Battle Creek, Mich., at 5:40 Monday morning, after a long illness from cancer. The body will be brought here and will arrive at 6:28 o’clock this morning. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

Mr. Crackel had not been in good health for a number of years. He submitted to an operation shortly after being taken to Battle Creek last November and it was then found that death was not far away. He immediately began arranging the settlement of his large affairs. Among his last acts was the writing of checks for the benefit of several institutions and persons he wished to remember, including the First Presbyterian church and the Mission Presbyterian church. He has been an elder in the First Presbyterian church since 1916.

Mr. Crackel came to Vincennes in 1903 and has made of himself one of the wealthiest and most highly respected citizens of the community. He was born in Edwards county, Ill., and early in life was thrown upon his own resources.

He engaged in a grain and implement business at Lawrenceville, Ill., when about thirty years of age. He invested his earnings in real estate until he was possessor of 4,000 acres of farm lands in this county and in Lawrence and Gallatin counties, Illinois. Beside real estate he has been engaged in banking, the raising of fine stock and farming and in developing his valuable oil lands. Until his illness became acute about six months ago he was one of the most active men of the community. His friends speak most highly of the success which he made entirely by his own admirable characteristics.

Mr. Crackel was married to Miss Mary E. Smith in April 1881. In addition to the widow he is survived by the four children, K. J., Lulu and Carrie Crackel and Mrs. Emma Gould, the latter living in Minneapolis.

The body will be taken to the family home, 304 North Sixth street.

Bicknell Miner Who Fell Under Moving Train Thursday Afternoon Died Four Hours Later -- Slipped On Ice.

Curtis Crenshaw, aged 35 years, machine man at the American mine, who was fatally injured at 4 o’clock Thursday afternoon, when he fell while attempting to alight from the American miners’ train at the Main street crossing in Bicknell, died about four hours after the accident. Crenshaw is survived by his wife and four children, Orville age 12, Vada, 10, Eugene, 6, and Ancel Lyle, 3. Luther and James Crenshaw of Bicknell, are brothers. The funeral will probably be held in the Bicknell Baptist church Sunday afternoon.

The train was coming into town at a greater speed than usual. Just before arriving at the Main street crossing Crenshaw remarked to one of the men something about the American mine being “idle tomorrow and it would be a good day for a little game of rhum.” After the train had passed some loose gravel along the tracks he stepped off. The ground had become very slippery from the rain and snow of the afternoon and Crenshaw slipped, falling headlong with his right arm across the track and his head above the rail.

With instant presence of mind, he drew his head back, saving his head from the wheel, but the brake rod struck him a vicious blow on the back of the head throwing him forward.

Evidently he was still moving forward when the wheel caught his right arm below the elbow suddenly holding it firm for the instant and wrenching his upper arm and shoulder so severely that the arm was broken above the elbow, and the shoulder was badly broken and probably dislocated. The violence of the fall also broke the left arm twice, wrenched his back, and seriously scraped and bruised the right side of his face.

When the train passed he was lying within three feet of the brick paving, about five feet from the track.

Investigation of the scene of the accident soon afterward showed pools of blood where he had lain, and on the track where his arm had been run over was blood, short arm hairs, and crushed bits of bone.

When help ran to the unfortunate man they believed at first that he had been killed. Seeing that he still lived, they picked him up to carry him to a doctor's office. Both arms hung limp. His head was bleeding from the scratches on the side of the face, and from the scar on the back of his head.

Physicians were called who did what they could for the man but decided that he should be taken to the hospital at Vincennes. A trip in the ambulance was impossible on account of the condition of the roads and he died before he could be transported by train.

A few minutes before eight o’clock, he asked for the doctor, then asked if he couldn't be raised up. The relatives were called into the room before he was raised, then his head was lifted a little. He took a long breath.

One of the men in the room looked at Dr. Staley and said, “It's all over, isn't it doctor.”

“Yes, he's dead.”

“Why Dr. Staley!” cried his startled wife, for neither she nor the dying man himself had been aware that death hovered so close.

BICKNELL CONDUCTOR MEETS DEATH

Benjamin Cunningham, Vandalia Freight Conductor, and a Highly Respected Bicknell Citizen, Meets Tragic and Mysterious Death at His Home Friday Evening.

(Special to Vincennes Commercial)

Bicknell, Ind., January 16 -- Benjamin Cunningham, aged about 40 years, met instant death in a dramatic manner at his home in this city shortly after six o'clock Friday evening. Mr. Cunningham was a freight conductor on the Vandalia railroad and for many years had been well known and highly respected in Bicknell.

His death is mysterious in a way. He went down into the basement of his home apparently to attend to the furnace. He evidently turned on the electric light while he was standing in a puddle of water and probably had one hand on the furnace. At any rate he was found lying with his feet in the water. Persons who are acquainted with the eccentricities of electric current say that death from such a cause is possible. However, not much investigation was made tonight and the exact cause of death is not absolutely known.

Mrs. Cunningham, who was on the main floor of the house, heard an explosion and a groan and rushed to the door at the head of the stairway leading to the basement. She got there just in time to hear him murmur "Mamma." As Mrs. Cunningham is a heavy woman she did not attempt to go to him but ran to the kitchen door and gave a loud scream which brought the neighbors running from all over that section of the city, including three physicians. Mr. Cunningham was dead when the first persons reached his side.

Deceased leaves a wife and three children, the oldest about fourteen years old. The children were at a neighbor's house at the time of the tragedy. Mr. Cunningham was a leading member of the Naarene [sic] of this city. He has been employed on the railroad for many years and was popular in Bicknell. His death was a distinct shock to the community.
