            MRS. RATHBONE KILLED
            The Fatal Result of a Collision on the Grade.
            Thrown From Her Buggy and Trampled by a Runaway horse.
            Times-Gazette Saturday, May 18, 1895.
            At 10 o'clock last evening this city was thrown into great excitement when it
            became generally known that Mrs. Rathbone, wife of L. D. Rathbone, pastor of the Congregational Church of Redwood City was almost instantly killed on the grade near Woodside at 8 o'clock. Mr. Rathbone, his wife, and Allie Glennan started at 7:30 for Woodside where Mr. Rathbone was to hold service.
            They were in a small cart and were about half way up the grade. Mr. Rathbone looked behind and was startled to see coming at full speed towards him a runaway horse, attached to a buggy. Mr. Rathbone's first impulse was to get as near the bank as possible so the runaway might pass but instead the frightened animal plunged in between the bank and Mr. Rathbone's vehicle, throwing the occupants
            out. Mrs. Rathbone was trampled on the breast by the runaway horse,
            fracturing the breast bone and causing internal hemorrhage.
            A few seconds after the accident, the man owning the team, came along and at once went to Woodside to secure assistance.
            Young Glennan was dispatched for Drs. Ross & Barret. A conveyance was arranged at Woodside and the injured lady taken to
            the residence of Jared Dodge, who lives at East Greenwood.
            The lady was suffering most intense agony. Her pains were excruciating.
            Drs. Ross & Barret arrived at the bedside of the injured woman at 9 o'clock but they at once saw the hopelessness of the case, they, however, did all they could to assuage the terrible pain of the sufferer.
            She died at 9:20, just an hour and a half after the accident.
            The owner of the horse causing the frightful accident is not known.
            The husband of the dead woman is prostrated with grief and cannot be consoled in his terrible affliction.
            Deceased was formerly Miss Carrie Dearborn, and was only 27 years of age and a native of Maine. She taught school at Woodside for some time prior to her marriage to Mr. Rathbone a little over a year ago.
            She was a woman of rare accomplishments, was a learned
            scholar and possessed all of the care and grace of a highly cultured lady.
            Deceased was a sister of Chas Dearborn, a well known resident of Woodside. Mr. Rathbone who has the sympathy of every one, has been pastor of the Congregational Church of this city for early
            eight years and is well liked and highly respected by his large congregation.
            Arrangements for the funeral will be made to-day. The body of Mrs. Rathbone is now lying at her home adjoining the church.

            LAID IN THE GRAVE
            The Burial of Mrs. Rathborn
            Times-Gazette Saturday, May 25, 1895.
            Sunday afternoon the funeral of the late Mrs. Rathbone took place from the
            Congregational Church. Long before the hour announced for holding services had approached, the church was crowded with friends of deceased who had known and admired her numerous good qualities and
            kindness in life. Deep sorrow was manifested through the impressive ceremonies which were conducted by Rev. Mr. McDougal
            of San Mateo, assisted by Rev Menserve of Oakland and Rev. O.M.Hector, pastor of the M. E. Church of this city.
            Rev McDougal in a touching eulogy pointed out the good deeds of the deceased and laying much stress upon
            her many charitable acts. "Her true Christian life," said the eloquent divine, "is worthy of emulation." The floral offerings were many, and rare were the sweet-scented flowers placed upon the casket by loving hands.
            The remains were interred in Union Cemetery, the funeral cortege being unusually large.
