The Gazette Cedar Rapids, Iowa 7 Apr 1893 Page 2
"Mrs. Margaret Swafford died at her home near Solon at the age of 78 years."

Iowa City Weekly Republican Wed, 12 Apr 1893
"A Long Life Ended
Mrs. Margaret Swafford, relict of the late Nathan Swafford, died in the seventh-eighth year of her age, at her home, near Solon, Friday March 31.
The funeral occurred Easter Sunday Rev. G. L. Garrison, of the M. E. church preaching a touching sermon from Rev. XIV 13.
The deceased leaves three sons, one daughter, and a very large circle of friends, to mourn her loss."

A number of Margaret and Nathan's children and family are buried here. Margaret died near the cemetery as well. It seems the most likely place for her burial. Findagrave volunteer needs to check cemetery for stone.
