Long enough. New enough. Well written with reliable citations throughout. AGF on some of the sources. A couple of issues. First, the main hook is largely sourced but I can't find a reference to McClure's magazine. The second issue is the date of her death. Some sources state March 16 while others say March 17. The article currently states both dates independently, without mentioning the issue.

Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy. I corrected her date of death per the county death registry (requires access via Wikipedia Library). –

. Her death date has been confirmed with a couple of citations (one of which is behind the paywall.) The main hook is cited with two reliable sources. I prefer the main hook. GTG.
