Mary had been ill with Brights disease and suffered from uremic poisoning. She had been married twice, according to her obituary, but only her husband Absalom is mentioned in the obituary. She had lived in Madison, Indiana for many years. Her daughter Cora lived with her parents and was keeping their home. The couple had a granddaughter that survived them; she resided in Denver, Colorado at the time of her grandmother's death—she is not identified in the obituary.
A brief news notice—appearing in the Jeffersonville Star on Wednesday, June 30, 1915—indicated that Cora was "recently found insane [in North Madison] by a lunacy commission." Her doctor—identified as Dr. James W. Milligan—was the superintendent of the Soptheastern [sic] Hospital for the Insane. He sent a notice to the Jeffersonville Star indicating that the hospital was going to admit her for treatment. Cora's "condition" was mentioned in her father's obituary. Absalom's obituary noted that "her condition was a great worry to her father, who was devoted to her as he had also been to his wife." Neither article indicated when or if she had been released.
