Burlington Weekly Hawk-Eye, Iowa
Thursday Morning, 4 Mar 1875


The Morango Republician says a piece of the great meteor, weighing seven pounds, six ounces, fell on the farm of Mr. L Sherlock, nine miles east of Mareago and two miles west of Homestead. It was discovered in the morning by some of the children, when on their way to school. Appearances indicated that after striking the earth it rebounded and fell some thirty feet from where it first struck. Unfortunately for the interests of science, Mr. S. broke the piece into small fragments and distributed them among his neighbors. A small piece, weighing four and a half ounces, is in possession of the editor of the Republician.
