From Story City Herald January 8, 1897 (page 5)

Ida M., the little daughter of E. L. Ericson, died, Sunday morning, of consumption. Thus the grief of our esteemed fellow-citizen, Mr. Ericson is deepened and made more bitter. Three deaths have occurred in his family within six months. Last July a little girl died, and only a few weeks since he laid his beloved wife away. Today the Herald announces the death of another little daughter. Let us hope that sorrow may no more enter this home and that the remaining children may be spared to grow to useful and honorable manhood and womanhood. Little Ida was 4 years and 16 days old when she died. Funeral services were held at one o'clock, Tuesday afternoon in the Lutheran church.
