Miners Express, Wednesday, Jun 09, 1852, Dubuque, IA, Page:

POISIONED-Two daughters of Mr. Livingston Dickerson, of Muscatine, one aged 15 and the other 19 years died very suddenly on Monday last. A post-mortem examination, has elicited the fact, that they were poisoned. Circumstances strongly indicate that, in rumbling for wildflowers they must have incuriously partaken of some vegetable, which was poison and therefore destroyed their lives. Sad indeed was their fate.
