McHenry County Independent ; Towner, McHenry Co., N.D. ; May 19, 1893 ; Vol. III, No. 12, pg. 1
L. N. Torson and family returned from Wisconsin last Monday. Mr. Torson was 
recalled to Wisconsin last week by a telegram informing of the death of his 
eldest son, Bennie who was about eight years old. His death was sudden and 
wholly unexpected. Mr. Torson having left him only a little while before in 
perfect health. The physician in charge first attributed the death of Bennie 
to diphtheria, and the family ,who were about to return to Towner, were 
quarantined. A diagnosis by the physicians, however, discovered no symptons of 
diphtheria in the case of another child of Mr. Torson, who was also ailing, 
and the quarantine was removed. It was decided that Bennie died of brain 
fever. Little Bennie will be remembered here as a bright, intelligent, and 
unusually sweet tempered child, who was a favorite with his teachers and 
playmates. "There is no flock, however well attended, but one dead lamb is 
there," but the gap in the family circle occasioned by his death is a sad blow 
to the family, to whom th esympathy of this community is extended.
