She died as a widow on December 14, 1912 and is buried in Afton, St. Louis County, MO. Her parents were also born in Bohemia. She arrived at New Orleans on October 21, 1852 accompanied by Lambert Furth age 45 and Fanny Furth age 18 on the ship Louisiana. This is the same ship the Block family arrived on several years earlier also at New Orleans.
