From the July 10, 1900 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

“Little Rock, Ark.–An entire family of nine persons died to-day near Calico Rock, Marion County, from eating poisonous toadstools, mistaking them for mushrooms. The victims are W.J. Fink, aged 40; Mrs. Mary Lee Fink, 30; John E. Fink, 18; Keakie Fink, 13; Sigel Fink, 11; Vell Fink, 9; Rose Lee Fink, 7; Melan Fink, 6; infant child.

The family ate a hearty dinner, which included the supposed mushrooms. All were taken violently ill and none recovered.”
