  The date and place of her death remain uncertain, however in his 1900 census enumeration, her husband identified himself as widowed. He also noted that he had been married for 12 years prior to becoming a widower. Since they had been married in September 1882, this would then suggest that she had died between 1894 and 1895. However whether she had actually died at this time, or they had just separated or divorced, remains unclear.¹³
