From Nevada Representative August 3, 1887

Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Zerbe living near Bodarc, Nebraska, have recently been greatly suffered. First their little boy died and a few days following their little six year old daughter was bitten by a rattle snake with probable fatal effects. Mrs. Zerbe will be remembered by Story county people as Miss Alice Bixby.

From Nevada Representative August 10, 1887

Alice, the little six year old daughter of H. T. Zerbe, of Sioux county, Nebraska, who, as reported in the last REPRESENTATIVE had been bitten by a rattlesnake, died from the effects of the bite last Wednesday. A good deal of indignation is expressed by the local paper, towards the physicians who had charge of the case for being so intoxicated as to be unable to properly treat the case. One of the doctors was Dr. Meredith, formerly of this county.

SUBMITTER'S NOTE: Alice May Zerbe was the daughter of Henry Thomas Zerbe and Alice Elizabeth Bixby.
