Beautiful picture, but as I read the details, she had nine children by the time she was 35. That is quite a bit. I was just wondering, if having so many children, at such a young age, was a contributing factor for dying so early in life. Just a thought.

Per her death cert, she died of hypertensive heart disease. I’m sure having that many children didn’t help.
