[Newspaper: Peoria Journal Star, May 15, 1994, Page C17, Carlos, Harriet Don Carlos Harriet Don Carlos, aged 27y, died at her father's residence in Davis Co., Iowa. Joined M.E. Church 1840; d. 3 July 1853. (Central Christian Advocate, Vol 1., 10 Nov 1853, p. 179 Weingartner, Joseph Near Broomfield, Davis Co., Iowa, March 4, of apoplexy of the lungs, Joseph Weingartner, 65, formerly of Sparland. The death of the singular German, Joseph Weingartner, which took place near Bloomfield, Iowa, is referred to in a letter to the Chicago Evening Journal from Des Moines. It says: "Last fall there came to Davis county an old man, evidently German, accompanied by a little girl six years old. He took possession of an unoccupied house just outside the town of Bloomfield, where he lived quietly and soon gained the confidence and respect of those who knew him. He was quite reserved and reticent. Between him and the girl there was a strong attachment; they were always together. A few days since a neighbor, while passing the premises, observed the little girl watering the old man's horses and crying bitterly. He inquired as to her trouble, when she said her father was dead. He went to the house, and found the old man lying in bed dead. The little girl said: "Father woke up in the night and said he was going to die. He tried to say more, but I couldn't here him." Investigation by the coroner disclosed apoplexy of the lungs as the cause of his death. There was a small amount of money on his person, and some papers. From the latter it is supposed his name is Joseph Weingartner, and that he was once a resident of Sparland, Marshall county, Ill. He frequently spoke of living in Kansas, and of going back to Illinois. He was buried by the county, and the little girl left with Daniel Coy, who is inclined to adopt her."
