Discovered! The Fate of Sister Maud Buttery Amey

Eliza Buttery Scott had two sisters and their fates have eluded me until today when I discovered what happened to Maud. All I've had of Maud are these two photos and a tragic note on the back of the postcard photo about the death of her young daughter Eliza.

Maud Buttery married Phillip Amey in 1913, but I have no information on him. I found a Border Crossing document from 1922 when she came into the U.S. through Niagara Falls/Buffalo/Rochester. Eliza lived in Rochester.

Today I found Maud's death certificate. She suffered severe heart disease and died at the age of 35. What's fascinating is that she died in Dayton, Ohio, the area where my brother Lee moved from last month! (If you look at Gammy on the right in the photo above, he shares some of her same features.) Maud died at Miami Valley Hospital, but I cannot find her final resting place. I DID, however, find a couple of Ameys who are buried at the Dayton National Cemetery. It seems both gentlemen served in the U.S. Army.
