8 N1. Freeport Journal Newspaper (Freeport, PA), (newspaper), originals at Freeport Library, PA, 1879 Jan 10. "On Tuesday evening, December 31, Mrs. Elmira Rowley, an old lady living on the north side of town, met with a horrible death. When her son, who is a coal miner, returned from work about 5 o'clock, he found her quite dead, lying with her head under the grate and all her clothing burnt off. She was subject to fits, and the supposition is that she was attacked while standing before the fire and fell in the position in which she was found. She was alone in the house, and, of course, could get no assistance, even if she had called for it, the building being isolated."
