From Story County Watchman September 26, 1902

McCallsburg.

A six year old daughter of Oleous Helland living northwest of town, died last Saturday evening and was buried Monday in the Haugs* cemetery north of town.

In the same paper:

McCallsburg Tribune: ....Belle, the six-year-old daughter of Otis Holland, died very suddenly at the home Saturday evening....

*SUBMITTER'S NOTE: According to WPA records, "Haugs cemetery" is apparently East Bergen Cemetery in Warren Township, Story County, Iowa. WPA Records also show Belle Helland died 20 September 1902. The 1900 Warren Township, Story County, Iowa census lists Belle's father as Olis Helland b. Dec. 1858 and her mother as Hannah b. June 1863.
