[Note: her name is given as Jennie, not Jettie. Her husband is James E. Ward. and her age is consistent with her DOB on the 1900 census. Her residence was Sophia, WV in Raleigh Co.]
She was in the State Hospital in Charleston when she died.
Cause of Death: Uremia poison, jumped from a 3 story building.
Given the short time since her youngest son's tragic death, it's likely her death was a suicide.
