From the Jefferson (Iowa) Bee, January 29, 1924, Dana news:

Miss Lena Anderson received a telegram Wednesday from her brother, Jon Martin, who was here during the holidays, that her brother Mr. DeHoogh at Walla Walla, Washington, had drowned. The brother that was here during the holidays left here for Walla Walla to seek employment with his brother in the lumbering camps and was going there to locate. Mr. DeHoogh and his wife visited Lena last summer. It will be remembered Lena's brothers and sisters were adopted into different families hence the different names.
