It appears that he had been plowing corn all forenoon, and on coming to the house for dinner he took a swallow of liquor, remarking to his wife that it didn't taste right, and handed it to her. She tasted it but did not swallow much, as it did not taste right. They were both imediately taken sick, he dying in about three quarters of an hour, with all the symptoms of strychnine poison. He was dead before Dr. Becker, who was summoned, arrived. Mrs Hein was quite sick but not dangerously. Coroner Schultz was summoned and held an inquest yesterday, but thje verdict was suspended pending the analysis of the stomach, wich(sic) was sent to the state chemist at Iowa City yesterday. Before the verdict is made public it is impossible to get any reliable information. The air is full of rumors but we will not repeat them. Charles J. Hein was born the 20th of August 1849 in Kahls, Mecklenberg-Schwerin. He came to this country in 1871. He lived at Monjunct, Pa., Chicago, National, Ia., and settled in Grand Meadow twp., in 1878.

Accident. The 13 - year - old daughter of Otto Koehring of Ludlow sustained a serious accident last week, relates the Waukon Democrat, whereby both arms were fractured at the wrists. She was in the swing at school and swung out to quite a height when she lost her balance and fell head-foremost to the ground, striking on her hands and face with the above result.

It seems like so many years ago now - but I also would like to praise and thank Roxanne. It seemed when she was helping me she was tireless and most determined. Thanks Roxanne not only for helping me but for what you have done to help establish the Allamakee's presence that it is today. Thanks for a job well done !

Roxanne was our CC from 1-20-1996 until the spring of 2001. She and her small group of volunteers toiled over their keyboards & "dug the basement, laid the foundation, framed the walls and added the roof" to the virtual genealogy library that is the Allamakee Co. website today. Today, as we continue to fill the bookshelves and build new rooms in Allamakee -- I want to thank Roxanne & her hearty band of volunteers for their hard work & dedication to a vision that continues to grow!!
