Mattie died of diphtheria. As the disease was contagious, Philadelphia officials did not allow her burial inside Philadelphia boundaries, so a grave plot was purchased in Montgomery County, West Laurel Hill Cemetery. For many years, on a Sunday afternoon, the family took the trolley car to visit the grave of their beloved Mattie. From the writings of her niece, Paulanne Binder Montaigne.
