Postville Review, 16 July 1909.

A child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chris which was visiting at the Frank Sebastian home was overcome with the heat last Friday and died a few hours later. The remains were taken to the home in Clyon*, Iowa, on the night train. The mother of the child is a daughter of Frank Goss, a former resident of Postville.

*Probably Clayton, Iowa
