July 5, 1908: Self-Induced in New York

St. Mary's Hospital

According to New York death records, 33-year-old Lena Bruner Silver died at St. Mary's Hospital in Brooklyn on July 5, 1908. 

This young homemaker's death was due to septic peritonitis following a self-induced abortion.

I have been unable to find any further information about Lena's death.
