Mr. Swore had been tearing the old barn down and was last seen working on the second floor of the structure at about five o'clock Friday afternoon. It is supposed that he fell from the second floor, landing, for when he was found the next morning he had died from concussion of the brain.
When Mr. Swore did not return home Friday night, his adopted daughter, Evangeline, went to look for him Saturday morning and found him dead at about nine o'clock. Dr. Haberman and Coroner J. A. McCabe held a post mortem examination Saturday evening and found that death was due to concussion and a hemorrhage of the brain. It is thought that he lived until about five o'clock Saturday morning, but was probably unconscious.
The deceased was 53 years of age and a widower. He leaves an adopted daughter, Evangeline, to mourn his loss.
