Cause of death: Burned to death when clothes caught fire while smoking a pipe at the age of 100. There is some confusion about her actual age - her death certificate lists Oct. 11th, 1824 as her birthday, while her gravestone shows 1828 (however, grave markers are frequently incorrect). Other sources suggest a date as late as 1830. At the time of her passing, the local newspaper said she was 101, however if the death certificate is correct, she died before her 101st birthday.
