Daily Iowa State Democrat, Davenport, IA
Saturday, 28 August, 1858

         A lad named ORIN TEEPLE, aged 11 or 12 years,
       son of MR. JOHN TEEPLE, of South Fork township,
       Jackson county, was bitten on the inside of the
       ankle by a Rattlesnake last Tuesday, while
       gathering blackberries. He was in company with
       his mother and some boys, and was distant from
       home about three and a half miles. He was taken
       home as quickly as possible, and every means
       ****ed by parents and physicians to counteract
       the effect of the poison, but without avail. He
       lived in great pain until Sunday morning at four
       o'clock, when he expired. He said he felt the
       shock of the snake's stroke through his whole
       body, and the snake in drawing back made quite
       a large wound.
