"Cumberland Evening Times" Cumberland, Maryland, Wed 11 Nov 1931: 
"Death of Nurse After Her Patient's Burial-Former Westernport Girl Dies 
In Norwalk, Ohio From Alleged Poisoning-Norwalk, Ohio, Nov. 11--The death 
here of Miss Mary Naughton, 26, a nurse, formerly of Westernport, Md., by 
poisoning, was attributed by officials to her grief over the death of Boyd 
Bateman, a World War veteran, who died in a Washington, D.C., government 
hospital of tuberculosis. Miss Naughton came to Norwalk Oct. 29 with the 
body of Bateman, one time merchant, for burial. At his interment she 
appeared grief-stricken. She died Friday night in Memorial Hospital at 
Norwalk while under a physician's care. Whether the poison was taken 
accidentally was not known. Coroner C.L. Bell said an investigation was 
not required because she had medical attention before her death. A brother 
and sister from Westernport came to attend Miss Naughton's funeral and 
burial was made in Huron, Ohio Saturday afternoon. Bateman had been in an 
army hospital since 1926 and had been under the care of Miss Naughton for 
some months of his life."

Note: she was the daughter of Michael Francis Naughton and Mary Riordan.
