General Notes: Husband - Dr. Frank Lewis Swallow

Greensburg Tribune, Greensburg, PA
DR. SWALLOW'S DEATH.
The death of Dr. Frank Lewis Swallow has cast a gloom over Manor, as it takes away a kind father, a faithful and devoted husband and a most generous and affable citizen. Let those who knew him best testify to his sterling worth and his memory will be kept green for many years.
Dr. Swallow was born in Lambertville, N. J., on the 30th day of June, 1876. His father, Anderson Swallow, is a prominent architect and builder of that place. His mother died ten years ago. His brothers, Harry, of Lambertville, and Charles, of Trenton, are prominent citizens. The deceased was the youngest of the family.
The deceased entered the public schools of his native town and made the remarkable record of graduating from the High School at the age of 13 years. It is said of him that he was the only pupil that ever graduated there in knee pants. He entered the University of Pennsylvania and graduated from that celebrated institution in 1900, at the remarkable age of 24 years. He was appointed by the P. R. R. for the Pitcairn division, as examining surgeon and held this position at the time of his death.
He was a skilled musician. He played in Sousa's band, belonged to some of Philadelphia's finest orchestras and won distinction in this line. He was married to Miss Lillie Spencer Lauffer, of Greensburg, Pa., in 1902, and this marriage was blessed by the birth of a bright boy baby, now only seven weeks old. To his wife and baby boy he was most devotedly attached. The death chamber is a singularly sad one and when the writer, an old acquaintance of the family, visited it this morning, he found the bride of a year ago prostrate in grief and the gray haired grandmother fondling her little grandson, whose young and gifted father was coffined for the tomb.
The cause of death was evidently overstudy. A worshipper at the shrine, he gave his Deity too much devotion and his death was due to physical collapse. His death is another instance, where genius and energy are wedded in the body and mind of a single individual. He was a most genial and companionable man, a devoted husband and father, and the sympathy of all goes out unstintingly to the bereaved in this hour of dire affliction.
