Jean, Wasn't 1906-7 right around the time they started mandating the reporting of deaths at the local level? Second, I'd write to the funeral homes to get their records first for clues to follow. Third, citizens liked "inquests" back then so you might try the Prothonotary's offfice to see if anything was held. A fall from bed is not normally enough to kill unless it is an infant... I'd wonder if something else killed her and the fall was secondary to the "something else". Fourth, do you have her obit? With an exact date as you have, Citizens Library would do a look-up for a fee. Fifth, the Mon Cemetery likely has records, being a larger cemetery.
