He married Bridget Jackman on June 1, 1909 in Palo Alto county, Iowa. They did not have children. He died in a car / train accident. August 11, 1920 - Emmetsburg Palo Alto Tribune - Few there are in the county, perhaps, who have not, before this, heard of the terrible accident at Estherville on Friday night, wherein Eugene Kane of this city came to his death. Elsewhere in this issue we gave the facts of the accident as we have been able to gather from those who witnessed it. From the time the engine struck the auto in which Mr. Kane was riding and threw him on the ground, he lived only about a half an hour. He was taken to the hospital and physicians were summoned, but it was beyond their power to render him any valuable assistance. When it was seen how seriously he was injured an auto was sent at once for the local priest who reached the hospital in time to be with him when he died. The body was brought here for burial Saturday evening. Funeral services were conducted at St. Thomas church at 9:30 Monday morning, when a solemn high mass was celebrated. Rev. M. McNerney was celebrant, Very Rev. P.F. Farrelly, deacon, Rev. J. Kelly of Graettinger sub-deacon and Rev. L.J. Savage, master of ceremonies. The remains were laid to rest in St. John's cemetery. The deceased was born at Oconowonok, Wisconsin, on June 30, 1881. When seventeen years of age he came to this county with his mother, Mrs. Margaret Kline and the other members of the family. They located on a farm in Walnut township. Gene was the youngest of a family of six children. He remained at home on the farm. On June 1st, 1909 he united in marriage with Miss Bridget Jackman. They established their home on the home farm. His mother died on Angust 28, l912. Two years later they moved to Emmetsburg and have since made their home there. Mr. Kane engaged in the land business for some time and later bought a pool hall, and owned the latter business at the time of his death. He was a K.C., an Elk, and a U.C.T. Possibly, no one in the community was better known than he. He was familiarly known as Gene Kane, and practically every one in the community so addressed him. He was a splendid mixer and readily formed acquaintances and made friends. He was generous, frank, good hearted, and enjoyed the company of his follow men. He was not prone to fault finding, but on the contrary was exceptionally charitable in his interpretation of the words and deeds of others. He was noted for his ready defense of an absent one who was being adversely criticised. He was a favorite, especially with children and this was one of his best recommendations he could get as a man of kind and generous impulses, for a child is quick and keen in detecting any deception upon the part of an older person and quite as quick to resent it. Though he never had a child of his own he loved children and found great pleasure in making them happy. As a son and brother he was kind and devoted. To his wife he was most companionable and no couple in the community enjoyed mutual companionship to a greater extent than they. Both possessed happy, carefree dispositions and thus got great enjoyment out of life. They smiled at vexations and treated the trials that came to them as a matter of course. All who knew them realized that they were a very happy couple. The shock of his sudden death was a trial greater than most people are called upon to bear, yet Mrs. Kane proved herself a brave, true woman under her sorrow, and she exemplified a Christian fortitude that was truly edifying. There is not a heart in the community which has not been touched with sincere sympathy for her. Not a person who witnessed her pain, and yet noted her self control, who did not admire her for it. Besides his wife, Mr. Kane leaves four brothers, John, Thomas, and Will Kane of this city, Henry Kane of Oconomowak, Wisconsin, and one sister, Mr. John Halsbrook also of Oconomowack to mourn him. They share the sympathy of all in their bereavement. One sister, Mrs. Mary Mingle, died some years ago.
