Her death certificate cites "heart failure" as the cause of passing.
As with many in rural Williamsburg County during this period, the record notes "no doctor" in attendance.
In 1934, access to cardiology and supportive medical interventions was severely limited for the rural population. Without the benefit of modern diagnostics or emergency care, families were often left to provide comfort and care at home during a loved one's final hours.
