Augusta died from diphtheria. Family lore says she caught the disease from her mother's clothing after Mary paid her respects to a family whose child died of a contagious disease. The Volz family was living at No. 3 Ley Street at the time; today that same house is 1932 Ley.
The headstone in the photograph replaced the original wooden marker, and was put there by family members.
Her death is recorded in Volume 8, Page 298, of the Registration of Deaths in the City of Allegheny. This was before Pittsburgh annexed it.
