    Death
    1901 | Cropsey, McLean, Illinois, USA
    Myra Elizabeth Crum died in 1901 in Cropsey, McLean, Illinois, USA, at age ~21. Myra's death date is listed as 16 March, 1900 in the Van Petten Rootsweb source but her headstone is dated 1901 and she appears on the 1900 census dated in June of 1900 so I am guessing the 1900 date is in error.
