Died with her daughters due to injuries sustained in the Great Cyclone of 1896. It cut a ten-mile swath of destruction through St. Louis and 255 were killed.
HOMELESS AND DESTITUTE.
When the first grey streaks of dawn began to break on the eastern horizon, the terrified residents of the district at the south approach of the Jefferson Avenue Bridge resumed their search for the dead in the wrecked tenement.
The corpses of Mrs. Claypool and her daughter Cora, were taken out during the night. Two and possibly three more bodies they knew were buried under the mass of brick and timber in which they had delved until after midnight. By 9 o'clock the remains of old Mrs. Mary Cahill were reached and a little later Ethel Claypool's crushed and bloody body was taken out. They were sent to the morgue. In the same house Baby Barnett, aged 3, had her back broken, and her aunt, Mrs. Holland, was seriously hurt.
