Mae had five children between the time she was married in 1902 and her death in 1914. When she died, Ernest her youngest child was one year old. Tragically, Mae had taken a load of laundry out to hang it on the line on February 13, 1914 and she did not return to the house. Lillian her 8 year old daughter went looking for her and she was found slumped over the laundry basket of we close. She was already deceased and nothing could be done to revive her.
