DEATH OF MRS. R. H. KAIN
Was Wife of Former Mayor and County Treasurer

Mrs. Joan Kain, wife of R. H. Kain, died at her home, 1011 Hill avenue in Sioux City on Friday from heart trouble induced by a complication of diseases. Her death was sudden and came as a great shock to her husband and friends.

She was under the care of a nurse and on Friday was apparently feeling somewhat better and told the nurse to go out for awhile. The nurse was only absent a few minutes and on her return found Mrs. Kain was dying.

Mrs. Kain was the wife of R. H. Kain, who was formerly mayor of LeMars for three terms and was county treasurer here for ten years. They went to Sioux City five years ago to make their home, when Mr. Kain engaged in the real estate business at that place.

Mrs. Kain was about 48 years of age. Her maiden name was Danehy and she was a member of a well known Clinton county family. She was married to R. H. Kain in 1899, shortly after his first election as mayor of LeMars.

She had a large number of friends in LeMars and vicinity and was very popular in many circles and active in church and social work.

The funeral was held yesterday morning at St. Joseph church in Sioux City, Rev. A. E. Zimmerman officiating.

The remains were brought to LeMars on the noon train where the funeral cortege was met by a large number of LeMars friends who escorted the body to the grave side in St. Joseph cemetery, Rev. Father O’Farrell conducting the brief service.
