Their oldest girl, Helen, died from complications of diabetes

Glenburn Advance, Thurs, 29 Jul 1915
Helen Swartwout, who died last Thursday morning was laid to rest in Fairview cemetery on Sunday afternoon. Services were conducted at the Methodist church by Rev. Wood and Rev. Deake. A large number of the friends of the family attended the services both at the church and at the grave. Helen Elizabeth, oldest daughter of Lottie and William Swartwout, was born on Feb. 2, 1904, and died July 22, 1915, being 11 years, 5 months and 20 days old. She was taken ill last December with sugar diabetes and while at times she was much better, there has never been much hope for her. The immediate cause of her death was heart failure. She was a very patient child from the first, with a smile for everyone and no one really knew what she suffered. She leaves a father and mother, grandfather, one sister and five brothers to mourn her loss, besides a host of cousins and schoolmates and other friends.

Violet married Raymond R DeCampa, the son of Samuel B DeCampa & Nettie Ross.  What is strange is that her son is not mentioned in her obit - Raymond Rosa DeCampa died in 1995 and she is listed as his mother on the SSN application.
