Swan Lake - Josephine Knudson, aged 6 years, daughter of Mons Knudson, died Thursday, April 17, at her home. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the house. Her death was very sudden she complained of a headache, laid down and in a short time was found dead. It was feared she had tasted some poison intended for gophers as she was in perfect health and had assisted that day in distributing the poison. They have the sympathy of the neighborhood in their affliction. (Northern Vindicator, Estherville, IA, April 25, 1890)
