It has been passed down through Delace's family that Elizabeth died on a wagon
train returning from Kansas to Minnesota in 1891.
Where she died is unclear, but they probably did removed to Kansas with her
sister Isabelle. After Isabelle died in 1886, and her husband Samuel
removed the family to Oklahoma, Harvey and Elizabeth probably were returning
when she died. This is all speculation as no documentation has been found
yet, but the two girls were very close -- even married together and can be found
together in various places throughout their lives.
