Carrie's death certificate indicates she was returned to Lovelady for burial after her death. I have assumed she is buried near her father since he had died only three years prior. Carrie died of Tuberculosis at the Cornick cottages in San Angelo, Texas.. Place of Death, Cornick Bungalows:In 1907 Dr. Boyd Cornick built 30 cottages here as part of his pioneer efforts in treatment of tuberculosis. Having previously recovered from the often-fatal disease, Cornick found that rest, a dry, warm, climate, and proper diet were an effective cure. These new methods replaced common treatments of the day, including hot cane juice, honey with wine, and arsenic. Patients came here from all over the U.S. About 1910 Cornick drew up Texas' first sanitary code and later influenced the building of the first State Tuberculosis Sanitarium at Carlsbad, Texas. (1968)
