"Mrs. Marguerite Ivan, living fourteen miles southwest of Columbus in Island precinct, Polk county, died last Thursday afternoon as a result of injuries received by being knocked down by a bull. The accident occurred Thursday morning about 10 o'clock, when Mrs. Ivan was driving the cattle in the pasture. The animal came up behind her and knocked her down. She was near a wire fence and succeeded in getting on the other side of it, so the animal ceased his attack on her. She succeeded in reaching her home, about a quarter of a mile away, and told then what had happened. Medical aid was called at once, but before it arrived she was dead, her spine having been injured. Besides a husband she leaves a family of children. Mrs. Ivan was born in Austria fifty-seven years ago. Funeral were held at the Catholic church on the Island near her home, and burial was in the Catholic cemetery at the church."
