The People's Defender, Jan 31, 1901
  Mrs. Ivy Armstrong, wife of Daly Armstrong, who resided near Quinn Chapel in 
Monroe township, died Monday evening from the results of burns inflicted while 
making an attempt to save her infant child from death.
  The accident occurred nine weeks ago and was given considerable space in the 
county press at the time. Mrs. Armstrong was recovering from a spell of 
sickness, and while nursing her young babe before an open fire place fainted, 
letting the little one fall in the fire.
  In attempting to rescue the child, which was burned to death, the mother 
came near to loosing her life in the flames at the same time, and only the 
timely arrival of other members of the family prevented her from being burned 
to a crisp. She was badly burned on the right hand, back and side, and for 
weeks suffered untold agony. The burns failed to heal and death relieve the 
mother's sufferings. Thus was her life sacrificed for the love of her 
offspring.
  She was a daughter of the late Lewis Brozee, who lived near Bentonville, and 
had many friends.
  The funeral was held at Quinn's Chapel Tuesday, after which her remains were 
buried in the church yard.
