Daughter of John & Catherine (Smith) Nutting.
One of the pioneer settlers of Faribault, having come here with her husband thirty-five years ago. She was born in Amherst, Mass., in 1821, and was a sister of Messrs. Levi and Truman Nutting. During the latter years of her life she had been an invalid, having been unable to use her lower limbs in consequence of rheumatism for seven years. She bore her suffering with a foritude, patience and resignation that won all hearts, and bespoke her noble christian character. With her husband, daughter and grandchild she was on her way to Waterville, Washington, buoyed up by the hope of spending her last days in the vicinity of her children, of whom two survive of the three born to her, viz: Milton B. and Mary (Mrs. A. L. Rogers.) The deepest sympathy will be felt by our community for the bereaved husband and family. The remains will be brought to Faribault for burial in accordance with the wishes of the deceased expressed before her departure. The deceased was one of the pioneer members of the Baptist church in this city. July 9, 1890 the remains of Mrs. George G. Howe, who was fatally injured in the accident at Drummond, on the Northern Pacific railroad, as mentioned in our last, arrived on Saturday, by the 11 a. m. train from St. Paul. Mr. Howe and Miss Anna Benson accompanied the body. The funeral cortege, comprising a large number of relatives and friends of the deceased, proceeded at once to Oak Ridge cemetery, where the burial service was conducted by Rev. H. E. Norton, of the Baptist church. From Mr. Howe we have learned fuller details of the accident than have hitherto been published. It occurred at 4:30 p. m. On the 30th ult., while the train was going along smoothly with no premonition of danger. Mrs. Howe and her daughter, Mrs. A. L. Rogers, were seated in the drawing-room of one of the pullman's, while Mr. Howe and Miss Anna Benson, who has lived in the family for a number of years, were seated in the main body of the coach, near the open door of the drawing room. The accident occurred on an embankment about ten feet in height, and the pullman in which Mr. and Mrs. Howe were riding turned over on its side but was caught by the trucks in such a way as to prevent its falling upon its top, as did the other coach in front, in which case the casualties would probably have been more numerous. Mrs. Howe was on the upper side as the car went over, and was thrown violently across the aisle. She was taken up unconscious and was for a few moments supposed to be dead, but was revived by the use of stimulants. An examination showed that both legs were broken in two places, both above and below the knees. Miss Benson was badly bruised about the shoulders and one arm, but her injuries were not serious. Mr. Howe and daughter and grand-child escaped without noteworthy injury. The nearest point where relief could be afforded was at Missoula, 53 miles west of Drummond, and the ride thither was a very distressing one to Mrs. Howe, and her death seemed imminent. On her arrival she was conveyed to the sister's hospital, where she received every attention, and survived till 7:30 a. m. The next day, her suffering being mitigated by anodynes. After her death, Mrs. Rogers, whose husband was waiting for her 65 miles this side of Waterville, with wagon transportation for the expected party, decided to go on. As telegraph communication has not been established over this interval of country, several days of delay must have ensued before Milton B. Howe could have been apprised of his mother's death and have, reached Missoula consequently it was decided to be best that Mr. Howe and Miss Benson should return immediately with the body. The return of the husband so soon after his departure from his old and happy home, under such afflicting circumstances, is inexprissibly sad, and has elicited the deepest sympathy from our community. Mr. Howe will remain here two or three weeks, and resume his journey to Waterville which is to be his future home. A memorial service will be held in the Baptist church next Sunday in place of the regular morning service.
