Kappel, Mable Freeman and babe, Donald - A terrible accident occurred Tuesday evening about 7:30 which caused two deaths—a mother and her babe. Bert Kappel, living on Logan street, was carrying a mattress up stairs at his home and his wife was following him with a lamp and their two years old boy babe, Donald,  following close behind her.   By some means she dropped the lamp, as she stated in her conscious moments, and the oil was scattered on the baby's clothing.   In an instant it was in flames and she called her husband to save the baby.   By her efforts to do so her clothing caught fire, possibly by wrapping her dress around the child, Mr.   Kappel, attempted to extinguish the fire and in his failure carried the baby to Mr. Humphreville's home near by and then returned for his wife with some neighbors.   While he was carrying her through the yard, her clothing still afire, his foot caught on some obstruction and he fell, dislocating his left arm  and his right arm is badly burned and seered.   Her clothing was entirely burned from her except the corset and the flesh fell from her person in many places.   Medical aid was called at once but nothing could be done to save her life or the baby's and both passed away about the same time at ten o'clock.   She was conscious nearly the entire time of her suffering.   It is a terrible sad affair.   They were in the middle age of life, and Bert is employed as bus driver for Billy Ward.  The fire was extinguished in the house by neighbors without turning in an alarm. The funeral was held from the home today at ten o'clock, conducted by Rev. Clifford Cox. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 20, 1913

MRS. KAPPLE AND CHILD BURNED TO DEATH
Overturned lamp Caught Clothing Afire—Sad Catastrophe Tuesday Evening.
Mrs. Bert Kapple and two year old son, Donald, were burned to death at their home on Logan street in Clarinda Tuesday evening about seven o'clock. It seems that there had been a family living in the rooms of the second story of the Kapple home and that they moved out a few weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs. Kapple had been sleeping down stairs, but after the family moved out of the house they decided to occupy the upstairs rooms themselves, so they planned to move their bed clothing to the new apartments Tuesday evening. About seven o'clock, after they had eaten their supper, Mr. Kapple and his wife went into the bedroom and prepared the things to be moved. Mr. Kapple then took the mattress in his arms and started up the stairs. His wife and baby were following his wife carrying the lamp and the child was a few steps behind her.  
Suddenly Mr. Kapple heard his wife scream that she had dropped the lamp, and when he looked around he saw that his wife's and baby's clothing were both afire.
Mr. Kapple rushed to the scene and began fighting flames. He ran to the neighbors screaming "Fire." Mrs. Humphreyville, who lives next door east, heard the screams, ran into the Kapple house and grabbed the baby. When she got the baby it begged her to go back and get its mother, but Mrs. Humphreyville had her hands full. Mrs. Humphreyville ran into the Waterman home next door and had Mrs. Waterman phone for the doctor. Mr. Waterman had gone to a lodge meeting and Mr. Humphreyville was working at his store. In the meantime Mr. Kapple had seized his wife and was trying to get her to the Robert Humphreyville home next door, but in trying to carry her and light flames at the same time he dislocated a bone in his left, arm and his right hand and arm were burned so badly that he was unable to do anything with it. While he was working with her and trying his best to get her into the house, Will A. Bower came and carried her into the Humphreyvilla dining room. Mrs. Humphreyville and Mrs. Waterman were working with the baby and doing all in their power to save it when Dr. Sellards arrived, who immediately phoned for Dr. Killingsworth to come and help care for the suffering. The doctors could see that both cases were hopeless, and so it. proved, for mother and child both breathed .their last at about ten o'clock. Mrs. Kapple retained, her presence of mind until nearly nine o'clock, frequently giving instructions as to what she wished done.
It is not known certainly just how the clothing caught afire of mother and child; but the supposition is that she dropped the lamp on the stairway, the oil spilling out or else the lamp exploding, probably the latter, as the Child's clothing was burned from the waist up    and    Mrs. Kapple was burned worse about the lower extremities. Neither the house nor the stairway where the accident occurred sustained much damage.
When the accident occurred Mrs. Humphreyville, living next door, east, had just begun to wash her supper dishes and was in the kitchen when she heard the screams. Telling her children to stay indoors, she ran to the scene of the tragedy. Mrs. Waterman next door west also heard the screams of Mrs. Kapple, but supposed it to be some children playing outside, and paid no further attention until Mrs. Humphreyville came. Another neighbor, Mrs. Dunbar, heard the screaming and went to assist as soon as possible. It all occurred in almost less time than it takes to tell about it.
, Mrs. Kapple's maiden name was Mable Freeman, being a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. V. W. Freeman, who live at the corner of 13th and Lincoln Sts. She has a brother, S. O. Freeman, and a sister, Mrs. Harry Hamilton of Clarinda. The baby was almost two years old, his birthday being Nov. 29th.
The funeral was held this Thursday forenoon at ten o'clock, conducted by Rev. Clifford Cox, pastor of the First Baptist church. Interment in Clarinda city cemetery.
Several Omaha and. Gravity relatives were present, including. Mr. and Mr. Everett Farnham, P. A. Price and wife and child, Mrs. Sam Johnson and Miss Jane Otis of Gravity, who came over Wednesday.
The sympathy of many friends is extended to the bereaved husband and father, who has lately been employed in the S. E. Johnson furniture store, and before that made a host of friends driving the bus for Wm. Ward. They were paying for their little home, and it is surely more than falls to the lot of most men to be burned, crippled and lose wife and baby all at the same time. The mother lives in Clarinda, and also a sistor.  Mrs Crabtree, at Lenox? CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 20, 1913

King, Sarah - WOMAN DIES AT TELEPHONE.
Lived at Nodaway, Iowa,—Was Alone When End Came.
Villisca Review, Aug: 12: Mrs. Sarah King, a resident of Nodaway and vicinity for the last thirty-eight years, was found dead at her home Tuesday evening about 7:30 o'clock Monday morning while sitting in a rocking chair attempting to telephone for assistance. Her death resulted from heart trouble.
When found Mrs. King was dressed only in her night clothing and was holding the telephone receiver in her hand. At 3 o'clock Monday morning the central telephone office in Nodaway received a call over Mrs. King's line, but when the call was answered from the central office there was no response. Shortly afterward another call from the same source reached the telephone office but though it was promptly answered there was no response from the source of the call, and it is presumed the rings were given by Mrs. King but that she was unable to make known her need of help.
She was found by her stepdaughter, Mrs. Dan Strain of Nodaway, who went to Mrs. King's home and finding the doors locked looked in through the window and saw Mrs. King sitting in her chair. She secured assistance at once and entrance to. the house was gained. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 18, 1921

Sitting dead in her chair, holding the telephone receiver in her hand, Mrs. Sarah King was found in her home in Nodaway last week Tuesday. It is thought she died Monday morning early, as the telephone office at that time received a call at 3 in the morning, which they endeavored to answer, but received no response. Later the same thing happened again. The woman was in her nightclothes, and apparently had an attack of heart failure, while living in the house alone, but was unable to use her vocal organs to talk. She was found by her stepdaughter who went to the house, but was unable to enter, and thru the window saw the old lady sitting in her chair, with the telephone receiver still in her hand.
