Notes - She was a book binder at a time when women did not work. She was known as Jenny and was active in the Eastern Star. Met and married William Skelly in Pittsburgh PA. Emigrated 1905 with her sister Georgina to Pittsburgh.
According to my Uncle Gordon she suffered from high blood pressure which for some unexplained reason the doctor didn't prescribe medication. She was at his house for the day watching the "telly" and complained of a pain in her left arm. When she got up to go home, she gave a little cry and dropped dead.
