On This Date in Minnesota History: September 6

September 6, 2011 – “For the fourth time in 12 years, a baby [was] found floating in the Mississippi River. Officials in Winona County recovered a body on Monday. In November of 1999, a little girl was found near Red Wing. Then a boy, believed to be that baby’s brother, was discovered near Frontenac in 2003. In 2007, a girl baby was found at the Treasure Island Marina. And now this incident of a baby being found near Winona.”
