The 1900 US Census lists her birth as November 1875. ~ Died of Measles – Saturday afternoon Coroner Gilbert, Sheriff Welch and Undertaker Upright went to Sterling, being called there by the sudden death of Mrs. Frances Parzychowski who had died suddently. She was the wife of the blacksmith at Sterling and had been sick but a few days and had no doctor. It was decided her death was from measles and no inquest was held. Her four children have the disease and with medical attention will probably get well. The family lives six miles south of Sterling. The Bismarck Daily Tribune, Monday, May 14, 1906, Page 4. ~ Investigating Deaths – Last week Mrs. Frances Parzychowsky, living six miles south of McKenzie died suddenly of what was supposed to be measles and probably from lack of medical care. The coroner went down but did not hold an inquest and reported four of the woman’s children sick with the same disease. Today word came that one of these children had died and the authorities came to the conclusion it was time to find out what the disease is, especially as it seems ot be getting epidemic in that neighborhood, so Coroner Gilbert, Sheriff Welch, Undertaker Upright and Dr. Chambers have gone down to investigate after having looked into the sudden death of Young Anderson. The Bismarck Daily Tribune, Wednesday, May 16, 1906, Page 4. ~ CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE Coroner Gilbert has returned from the home of a man named Parzychowsky, a few miles south of McKenzie, and reports the cause of the death of the man’s wife and two children as black measles in malignant form. The woman died Saturday and since that time two of her children have died. The husband had planned to bring the bodies to Bismarck for burial but the authorities forbade this and they were buried in rough boxes on the farm yesterday. The authorities state it is a very sad case of willful negligence and the matter will be brought before the county board of health at once, as two more of the family are down with the disease. The Bismarck Daily Tribune, Thursday, May 17, 1906, Page 3. Note: Newspaper accounts regarding the deaths of the Parzychowsky family say authorities would not allow them to be buried in Bismarck so they were buried on the family farm. In a letter in the June 16, 1906 Bismarck Daily Tribune, coroner George L. Gilbert states that on his second trip to the home, he ordered the un-buried bodies of Mrs. Parzychowski and two children be buried immediately, right there on the family farm. The current owners of the property believe the family is buried there. They found the old farmstead and there are piles of rock that are believed to be grave markings. The foundation for the house is easily visible, even from the satellite photo, and there is another depression nearby that is believed to be where the barn once stood. This likely burial ground is located on private property in the middle of their pasture. The Burleigh County Book of Remembrances lists them as being buried in the Sterling Cemetery and there is a home-made gravestone there. Were they later re-interred at Sterling?
