SUMMER HILL:
"Caroline Anderson, age 48, was found dead in her bed at her home near this place on Sunday morning. Her death is thought to have been caused by apoplexy. She leaves an aged mother and father with whom she resided; also a sister and brother and many relatives. The remains were laid in the Prairie Mound Cemetery on Sunday afternoon. Many friends and neighbors gathered at the home on Sunday to extend a hand of sympathy to the grief stricken family--especially to the aged couple who now reside alone and miss their loved one as none can tell."
On the 1880 census, there is a notation by her name which states "Chorea In. flam. Rheumatism." A quick Google search shows she may have had:
"Sydenham chorea (SC), or rheumatic chorea, is one of the major clinical manifestations of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and is the most common form of acquired chorea in childhood. It is a movement disorder characterized by chorea (involuntary brief, random, and irregular movements of the limbs and face), emotional lability, and hypotonia." kr
