Morris Herald, 1891
Bartlett, Mattie Lear - Mrs F E Bartlett; A telegram was received here Monday 
forenoon, announcing the death of Mrs Mattie Lear Bartlett, wife of Frank E 
Bartlett, of Chicago, which sad event occurred last night. Mrs Bartlett was 
born in this county, and was about 30 years of age. She was the daughter of 
James S Lear, who now resides in Vienna township. She was married to Frank 
Bartlett in 1879, and to them were born two children, one 5 and the other 7 
years old. For over a year she has been afflicted with consumption. At first 
it was thought that she would recover, but as time went on the fearful disease 
became too deeply seated to be removed, and finally resulted in taking her 
life. Mrs Bartlett was a good woman, a loving and devoted wife, and a tender 
and sympathetic mother. She was known quite extensively in this city, where 
she lived for a number of years. Her death will be mourned not merely by her 
own family, but by the many who came to know and respect her. The funeral was 
held on Tuesday last. A service was held in Chicago, after which the remains 
were brought to Morris, arriving here on the 3:42 pm train. From the depot the 
remains were taken directly to Evergreen cemetery where, after a brief service 
at the grave, they were interred.
