Notes
Death
SOURCE: THE MONTICELLO EXPRESS…JULY 24, 1890….PAGE 5The lesson of keeping small children away from stock water tanks was taught at a great cost on the farm of Mr. Harm Folkerts near Scotch Grove last Thursday afternoon. A little two year old child fell into one of these tanks and drowned. The mother having missed it a few minutes started in search, and having many times been afraid of the uncovered water tank, instinctively started in that direction. There she found her baby but the body she removed was lifeless.
