Duquoin Tribune, Duquoin, Perry County, Illinois, 25 August 1870, page 3, column 3:
Sad Accident -- We are called upon to record the death of one of Perry county's oldest and most esteemed citizens, in the person of Mrs. McElvain, who was killed last week while riding in a hack. From the best information we have, the deceased came to her death by the accidental upsetting of a hack, while on her way to visit friends. Mrs. McElvain took leave of her children Harvey and Sam McElvain, and Mrs. Wiley Lipe, of this county, only a few weeks since to visit her children in Missouri. She was something over eighty years of age and remarkably vigorous for one so old. She leaves a large circle of bereaved relatives and friends to mourn her unexpected loss.
