[From an unknown Ohio newspaper.] KILLED IN WRECK
Former Dresden Man Meets Death in Kansas.
Sister is Enroute Home With Remains - Details of Fatality Are Meager.
Only the vaguest report of how death came to their son, Charles Cain [sic], aged 35 to 38 years, in a head-on freight
collision, near Peabody, Kans., Thursday, December 1, has been received by Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Cain [sic], of Dresden. A sister of the
victim who lived in Dresden until four or five years ago is expected to arrive at Dresden
with the body today.
The victim was not a railroad man. He evidently was riding one of the two Rock Island
trains that collided. The other men, one the engineer, and both residents of Kansas, were
killed.
SISTER IN CHARGE
Cain [sic] did not die for several hours after he was injured, and while his parents
received a letter yesterday from a man who was with their son at the time of his death,
the details are quite meager. After the Dresden parents were notified of the fatality, thy
[sic] immediately wired Cain's [sic] sister, Mrs. Mabel
Henderson, who resides in Hutchinson, Kans. The latter had the remains prepared for
burial and shipped to Hutchinson, and left there yesterday with them.
Cain [sic] is survived by his wife and several children. Two sons, Charles, who attends school, and Edward,
aged about five years, reside in Dresden.
No funeral arrangements have been made.
