The Le Mars (IA) Sentinel, Thu, 16 Nov 1882, pg 4
DIEDWERNLI. Friday, Nov. 10, Eddie, son of Prof J. Wernli, aged 9 years.
The circumstances that led to this child's death are peculiarly painful. He was ill of malarial fever, and for some time had needed and received unremitting attention.
On Friday morning about two o'clock, being very restless his grandmother who had scarcely left his bed side for several nights, poured a teaspoonful of what she supposed was a gentle opiate, but what was really carbolic acid, and administered it to him.
The effect can easily be imagined. After much suffering, the child died about 11 o'clock in the forenoon. The agony of the loving grandmother can only be imagined. The family has the heartfelt sympathy of the community.
