Tuesday, 27 Nov 1877:
A few days ago, Isaac B. Essex, one of our (Dongola’s) most influential farmers and orchardists, was fatally injured from being run over by one of his cows. The cows were fighting, and he attempted to separate them and in so doing was knocked down on the frozen ground, receiving injuries from which he died in about 24 hours. He was sent to Rock Island for interment.
