Hettie married Frank Mead Cadman 9 Nov 1881 in Bon Homme, Bon Homme Co., SD
Hettie's parents:
Richard Melvin Radway and Annis J. (Hyatt) Radway. (They are buried out in SD, but no memorials yet)
The frozen body of Mrs. F. M. Cadman, 959 Fifth street, was found by her husband lying beside a post about 300 feet south of the Merrill avenue crossing in [on] Fifth street at 11:30 o’clock last night. She had been struck and instantly killed by the 7:35 o’clock southbound passenger train on the Northwestern railroad. Four hours before the finding of her body, Mrs. Cadman had left her home to spend the evening with the children of her son, R. M. Cadman, 1014 Oak St. In her hands she carried a sack of Christmas candy for the children. The candy was found strewn on the snow near the body. About five minutes after Mrs. Cadman left her home the southbound train thundered past. Close to the track on the south side of the crossing is a large patch of icy surface. It is believed that Mrs. Cadman slipped upon this ice and fell backward across the track. The family believe that she lay unconscious across the tracks helpless to move, and that she did not realize it when she was struck by the pilot of the passenger train. A few minutes after the departure of Mrs. Cadman two of her daughters started for the home of their brother where the mother was expected. There they learned that she had not reached the place and they believed that she stopped in the home of a neighbor tovisit. No alarm was felt until about 10 o’clock when telephone calls were sent out around the neighborhood .... She is survived by her husband and ten children: Mrs. George Brown, Beloit; C. E.
Cadman, South Beloit; Mrs. H. R. Fenska, Madison; R. M. Cadman, Beloit; Mrs. Marjorie Brown, Beloit; Percy Cadman, Beloit, and the Misses Lenore, Beth, Gladys and Dorothy Cadman, all of Beloit. She is also survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Radway, Springfield, S. Dak., one sister Mrs. Ben Bridgeman, of the same place, and one brother, Harry Radway, Topbar, S. Dak. ....
Interment will be in the city cemetery. - Beloit, (Wis) Daily News, of Dec. 31, 1914. Mr. and Mrs. Cadman and family lived here about 15 years ago, and have many friends. The Soldier (KS) Clipper, January 20, 1915. [Donated by Thos. Mick #46856506, Jan 2016]
