Elizabeth Jane “Jennie” Aylward

Birth Name Elizabeth Jane “Jennie” Aylward
Gender female
Age at Death 41 years, 6 months, 25 days

Narrative

I believe that Elizabeth J. went by the name Jennie and will refer to
her by that name. She immigrated to the United States in 1884.

On the 1900 Census Jennie said she had three children and all were
living. There is no other child listed in the Cambridge Vital Records
through 1904.
Jennie died at 201 Prospect Street, Cambridge, in 1907. In the 1910
Cambridge City Directory, 199 Prospect Street was the address of the
Cambridge Relief Hospital. On the 1910 census there is a doctor,
nurses, and some staff listed as residing there. 199 and 201 were the
same building in about 2002.

She is buried in Cambridge Cemetery, Cambridge, in grave 33 of range
92. Her grandson, Millicent's son, Charles Sprague Bean, is buried
with her. Her husband George W. is not buried there. The grave is
unmarked.
