22nd October, 1897, Friday

Mrs. Byrne, wife of Wm. Byrne of the Holly Grove neighborhood, died this morning 
between daylight and sunup. It seems that she called her husband about daylight to 
make a fire in the stove. He got up and made the fire and upon returning to the room 
to tell her the fire was made, found her dead. Alex. Carroll and a Mr. Beach came 
up to get the coffin.
I learn that about three weeks ago, she gave birth to twins, but one of the children 
died and one is living.
