From the Springfield Republican, March 28, 1860, was the following article:

"Lizzie A., daughter of Samuel Bean of Lowell, while on her way to church on Sunday, was seized with a fit of coughing which caused the rupture of a blood vessel. She was carried into a neighboring house, where she died in a few minutes."

Here's another account of this sad incident from The Lowell Daily Citizen, on March 26, 1860:

"Sudden Death. Yesterday a young lady named Miss E. A. Bean, residing with her parents near Spring Street, was observed while walking home and nearly there, to be bleeding from her mouth and nose, and asking for assistance. She was taken to the nearest house and laid on a couch. Dr. Walter Burnham was sent for; his assistant, Dr. O. M. Humphrey was on the spot almost immediately, but she had expired before his arrival. The hemorrhage, which resulted in death about 10 minutes after its appearance, is supposed to have been caused by a rupture of a large blood vessel."

Such sadness, as she was only 23 years old.
