That's a sad story.
I wonder why she had to die with only 25 years old 😢

I know - although perhaps that wasn't uncommon? I may relate to this story because my own grandmother died in her 20's - around the same time - with 4 young children left behind. Hollis Kroetch Family, Aberdeen, WA

I'm sorry to read that.
Must have been tough for the family.
And maybe you're right... late 20s and early 30s weren't easy times to live in.
Btw: Thank you for your great work! I truly love your page ❤

AncientFaces My grandmother died at 23 when my mom was 3. She had a severe nose bleed and they gave her the wrong type blood transfusion. So sad.

Her death certificate lists the cause of death as 1-Pulmonary edema, and 2-chronic interstitial nephritis. I'm not medically trained, but the descriptions listed possibly a-congestive heart failure, and b-kidney disease. Maybe linked to some other illness? She sounds like she was pretty sick.

Could have been many reasons that she passed away young...accident, an epidemic, child birth, medical treatment not the same as today.
So sorry to hear about your grandmother Ancientfaces...that must have been some nose bleed for them to think she needed a transfusion:(

Pat, from what I've seen, both pulmonary edema and chronic interstitial nephritis have underlying causes, and there can be a connection. There are non-cardiac causes of pulmonary edema, one of which is kidney disease. The chronic nephritis usually occurs after acute nephritis, and it can be the result of an injury or damage to the kidneys.
I didn't see any months listed for her death or the birth of her last child, but the last baby was born in 1932 and Anna died in 1933. The cause of the two conditions could have been connected to childbirth, especially since eclampsia during pregnancy can cause the interstitial nephritis, or there could have been an injury to her kidneys during childbirth.
Many mothers died during pregnancy or after giving birth...the numbers are still too high, considering the improvement in care, but back then, it was not at all uncommon for a mother to die.
My late husband and I and our boys used to take Sunday drives and look for old graveyards. So many young women died, often with their babies buried with or next to them, and the surviving husband is buried nearby with a second wife. We even saw headstones that showed a third wife after the second also died young. Heart-breaking how hard and short life was back then.
