Hi Sandra,
I don't know if these fit into your tree or not. I found them in a book "Obituaries of Benton CO AR Vol. 3 1905-1909
pages 66,67 & 148
SUMMERS, daughter - (from The Bentonville News) Last Friday Jack Summers, a citizen of Garfield, drove into town with his daughter dead in the wagon. Mr. Summers had been traveling with his daughter for several weeks for the purpose of Improving her failing health but after finding it of no avail had started home with her when she expired on the road eight miles west of town. The body was prepared here for burial and then the father proceeded home on his sad journey with the remains. (Rogers Democrat 8/9/1905)
