Little Katherine Jackson Victim of Accident
Three-year-old Child Plays Around Load of Grain; Falls Under Wheels as Horses
Start, Head Crushed

Little Katherine Jackson, the three-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Augustus
Jackson, went to the barn last Friday to be with her father, to whom she was
very much attached.

Mr. Jackson had a load of grain ready to take to market and had gone to the
house to make some changes preparatory to going to town.  The team and load were
left in the care of older children who did not know of the little girl’s
presence.  She had climbed upon the wheel when the horses started, and throwing
her off the wheel ran over and crushed her head on the back side, causing death
after only a breath or two.

Undertaker Weed was called and put the little one in a presentable condition and
the funeral was held at the home Sunday afternoon.  Many relatives and friends
of the family were present and the little form was laid to rest in Clarksville
cemetery.
