Sterling, Montgomery Co., Ky, father Ben Emmons, born in Ky, mother fields blank, cause of death inanition due to refusal to eat, informant A. T. Turner, Mt. Sterling, Ky, burial in Bethel Cemety.
The reported age at death implies a birthdate of 30 May 1860, but she was not recorded in the 1860 census, when the family was visited in August, and her parents were not married until 27 Dec 1861. I suspect a birthdate of May 1862, but the 1900 census says May 1861.
