Jackson Argus – Week of January 21, 1897
Judge F. M. Swanson

In the death of Judge F. M. Swanson, which occurred at his home in this place
last Monday afternoon at 8 o’clock, Jasper county has sustained a sad loss.   
For more than twenty years he had faithfully served the people as ordinary, and
the announcement of his death has carried gloom to the hearts of many who had
frequently gone to him for counsel and instruction.  Although Judge Swanson had
been a great sufferer for the past few years, yet he never neglected a duty, and
came to his office on Tuesday preceding his death to look after official
business.   A severe attack of grip, connected with a throat trouble, did the
fatal work.

Judge Swanson was in his 70th year at the time of his death, and during his long
and eventful life had seen many changes in our county.  As a citizen both
private and public, he was loved and honored, and in every capacity bore a
reputation without stain.  
The funeral occurred from the Baptist church Tuesday afternoon, Rev. E. W.
Sammons of Round Oak officiating, where a large concourse of friends had
assembled to pay a last loving tribute to his memory.   After a long life, full
of good works and noble charities, he sleeps peacefully near the little church
he loved so well awaiting the resurrection morn.   Jasper County News
