Monday evening she received a call to act as nurse for the students' army training corps at the agricultural college at Manhattan, where influenza is prevalent. After several days of close attention to her work she was taken ill and passed away early Saturday morning.

The services were held at the grave in Fairview Cemetery. Rev. Wilford E. Mann, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, conducted the services .
