Tragedy Near Winneconne

Mrs. Margaret Revoir, an Aged Woman, Burns to Death in Her Room-Story

Winneconne, Wis., April 3.-- The dead body of Mrs. Margaret Revoir, her
clothing and hair burned from her person and the body itself badly burned,
was found at about eight o'clock this morning by her son, Thomas Revoir.

Mrs. Revoir lived in a room of a home occupied by a family named Cowan and
her son came as was his custom at an early hour and started a fire in Mrs.
Revoir's stove and then went away.  When he returned a couple of hours
later he found the dead body sitting in a chair, and portions of the room
burned, besides the body.

Mrs. Revoir was about seventy-eight years of age and resided on what is
known as "the flat" at the outskirts of the village.

(Sheriff John W. Bunn and County Stenographer F.X. McCabe have gone to
Winneconne to investigate the death of Mrs. Revoir and have ordered a
coroner's inquest)
