A Mysterious Death in Early 20th Century Chicago

 In the morning of April 10, 1912, 38-year-old Mrs. Grace Peters died at Columbus Hospital in Chicago. She had been taken to the hospital after having taken very ill in her home on April 4.

When asked who had perpetrated the abortion, Grace refused to say. There was some conjecture that she had perpetrated the abortion herself.

I have lost my original source on Grace's death, and my second source, "Criminal Operations are Fatal to Two Women," The Inter Ocean, April 22, 1912, indicates that her date of death was actually April 21.
