The Marion Sentinel of Marion, Iowa, Wednesday July 3, 1957
An employee of the Dows dairy farm south of Marion, Lonnie George Erhart, 64, was gored to death by a bull Tuesday afternoon about 2:00 p.m.
Dows herdsman, Perry Knapp, was severely injured going to Erhart's aid and is in a Cedar Rapids hospital with internal injuries and wounds on his back.
According to the Sheriff's office, Erhart had taken the bull to the water tank. The animal became angered and went to the pasture. Whether he dragged the man into the pasture wasn't certain. The goring occurred in the pasture.
The bull was later destroyed.
