James Newfield Crain was born in Missouri on December 31, 1832, and in Ogle County, Illinois on June 2, 1857, he married Kate Debenhem, sister of Sophia Debenham McGinnis. Kate was an English girl whom he had met while attending Rock River Seminary at Mt. Morris Illinois. They lived for a time on his father's farm in Huntsville Township, then moved to Missouri. On September 11, 1873, while engaged in construction work on the Hannibal & St. Joe Railroad bridge at Kansas City, he fell from a pier into the Missouri River and was drowned. His body was not recovered, though some months later a skeleton which some thought to be his was discovered many miles down the river. The children of James and Kate Crain were: William Debenhem, Horace Newfield, Mary Eleanor (died in infancy), Harriet Anna, Mary Edith, Thomas Dennis, Herbert, Elsie and Myrtle. Aunt Kate died at Goldfield, Iowa, in August, 1905. The words of Ralph W. Crain Excerpted from the book Augusta's Story |
