Caroline was admitted to the Arkansas State Asylum in June 1907 and was pending release in July 1908 when, according to the State Asylum report, she was found dead by attendants. It is believed that Caroline's body was returned from Little Rock to be buried by her father in the small Polston plot at Campbell Cemetery. There is no stone and her name does not appear on the 1970s survey.
In the event that her remains were not returned to Sharp County, then hers are among the tens of hundreds of former patients at the Arkansas State Asylum whose bodies were buried on West Markham, at the original hospital cemetery, distinterred and reinterred near Little Rock Cemetery, disinterred when the interstate was built and interred yet again, this time in several rows of en masse trenches at the Benton Health Center cemetery. All patient records were voluntarily destroyed there under the auspices of HIPAA compliance. Only a small and partial list of asylum patients, along with a few bills of lading for medical cadavers and some disinterred graves contents, remain. Caroline's name does not appear on that list.
