Swenson, was born at her fathers homestead eight miles south-east of Chalk Butte on March 4, 1913, and passed away in Sturgis on Tuesday morning, May 22, 1928 at the age of 15 years, 2 months and 18 days. "Helen was well known and liked throughout the community. She was a student of the Stoneville High School at the time of her death, the school attending the funeral services in a body, at the Chalk Butte Baptist Church on Thursday afternoon, conducted by Rev. E. H. Clark. ........... "The body was laid to rest in the Red Owl Cemetery , there to await the resurrection morn." "HELEN SWENSON FATALLY BURNED: One of the saddest accidents that has ever occurred in this community took place Monday afternoon when Miss Helen, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Swenson, had filled the incubator lamp and spilled some oil on her dress and then in lighting the oil stove her dress caught fire. She succeeded in putting out the fire and then ran a mile and a half to the home of Carl Swenson for help. She was severely burned and immediately rushed to Sturgis for medical aid, but in spite of all that could be done for her, she passed away Tuesday morning at 2 o'clock. "What makes the accident doubly sad, her mother was just taken to Rapid City that morning for an operation, which was to take place Tuesday morning, but owing to her daughter's death, it was thought best to delay the operation a few days until she was more reconciled to her sorrow. The whole community mourns with the family in their sad bereavement. "Funeral services were conducted at the Chalk Butte Baptist church, Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Clark, and burial made in Red Owl cemetery."
