Corunna [MI] Newspaper published April 27, 1899, online at the library:
Angus Cameron, who lives five miles from Prescott, bought a cow about 18 months ago which recently died of a mysterious disease. A postmortem was held, and a four-ounce hunting case stem-winding, Elgin movement gold watch, No. 951,129, was found in the animal's stomach. The cow cost $40, but the value of the watch is said to be higher.
