The Davenport Daily Gazette, Iowa
Wednesday Morning, 16 April 1879

At Homestead Sunday, as Mrs. Thomas Sherlock and Mrs. Holcombe, with their three children, were returing from the Easter festivities at Homestead, in turning around, the carriage in which they were riding was cramped and upset and all the occupants thrown out. Mrs. Sherlock fell in between the wheels breaking one of her legs and being dragged and then run over and fearfully mangled on the head and body. Mrs. Holcomb was thrown over the dashboard and kicked in the side, being it is supposed, injured internally. The children escaped unhurt. The parties were well known in the vicinity and everything
that could be applied was promptly done. At last report the victims of the accident were in a precarious condition.
