Father Finds Corpse of Child Drowned While River Is in Flood Stage.
The body of little Annie Strunk of Osage has been recovered from the Cedar river, into which she fell while playing with companions. The remains were discovered by her father, who had been conducting a systematic and tireless search ever since the waters engulfed his child. While rowing forty rods below the dam the father glanced up into a tree bordering the waters and there saw the body of his child dangling head downward. The little one had lodged about twelve feet above the present stage of the river and become entangled in a bough. The remains were decomposed and an immediate burial was made.
