South of Remsen News:... A little child belonging to A. Dorn in Marion was fatally poisoned the other day by drinking carbolic acid. The little one suffered great agony for several hours. – Le Mars Semi-Weekly Sentinel, Sept. 1, 1885, page 1.
Note: The father, A. Dorn, purchased a lot in the Remsen Cemetery in 1887. Also, the 1880 and 1885 censuses show Ambrose Dorn living in Marion township, section 36, SW of SE quarter. His wife’s name is Lizzie and his children, in 1885, are Caroline, 5; Ida, 3; and Terese, age 1. Ambrose is 33 and Lizzie/Lesa is 22. They were born in Germany.
