     The following obituary appeared in the newspaper the Oskaloosa Daily Herald published in Oskaloosa, Kansas 7 September 1893 :

There was a frightful accident occurred here last Sunday at about two o'clock in which Aunt Pheobe Moody met with almost instant death. Just after she had eaten her dinner she started to go over the the Redmon place to see Jessie Shoemaker, who has been complaining for several days, and as she attempted to cross the railroad track just at the east end of the depot platform, the switch engine come backing down from the tank pushing a box car ahead of it. It is supposed that she thought it was on the switch, as she was seen to hurry up to get across. But the train was on the main line, and as she stepped on the track the box car struck her and knocked her down and the box car, water car and engine all passed over her, and drug her along about sixty feet, mangling her up very badly and killing her almost instantly. Se lived about ten or fifteen minutes. A great many people gathered there and they put her on a grain door and carried he to her home, but she breathed her last just after she got in her own house. I don't know as there was anyone particular to blame for the accident. It seemed to be one of those occurrences that could not be avoided. She would have been 76 years old in December next. She leaves a son and five daughters and a number grandchildren to mourn her sudden departure. They have the sympathies of the people of the whole community. Rev. R. L. Adams of New Sharon, will conduct the funeral services to day at one o'clock, after which the remains will be taken to the Olivet cemetery to be laid besides those of her husband to award the resurrection of the just.¹
