Some genealogies report she died in 1893 in Coffeyville Kansas. Joe Harkins reports she was buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Coffeyville. Several genealogy copy the same information. I found none that had any documentation, but with that information I was able to find a memorial for her on Find a Grave.
