OBITUARY: 
Monmouth Heights: A very sad accident occurred on Monmouth Heights last Saturday evening the 22nd, at the home of Mr and Mrs George Swearingen when their four year old daughter Mattie was burned to death. Her clothing caught fire from the stove where she had been playing and the parents were unable to extinguish the flames. She lived until three o’clock the next afternoon. Mattie was a sweet child with a loving disposition. The funeral services were conducted at their home Monday, October 24, at one o’clock by Elder W.A. Woods of Monmouth. Mr and Mrs Swearingen have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement. Monmouth Herald, Friday, October 28, 1910, 1:2
