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.
