She was buried in Oak Ridge Cem, Bristol, Elkhart County, Indiana. Her father was James Rolfe born in "Old England", and mother Phoebe Ensigne born in New York. The disease causing death, apoplexy* (not a disease) and the immediate cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage - Physician John J. Sweetland * Apoplexy - from the late 14th to the late 19th century, apoplexy referred to any sudden death that began with a sudden loss of consciousness, especially one in which the victim died within a matter of seconds after losing consciousness. The word apoplexy was sometimes used to refer to the symptom of sudden loss of consciousness immediately preceding death. Ruptured aortic aneurysms, and even heart attacks and strokes were referred to as apoplexy in the past, because before the advent of medical science, there was limited ability to differentiate abnormal conditions and diseased states.
