Sherry, there were some but not many obits published in 1890. Have you considered contacting the cemetery? They may be able to give you a death or burial date.

Sherry, John and the List The Missouri Secretary of State web site is building an on line data base of birth and deaths in Missouri. This information is based on microfilms of official records. This is the link to the search page.... http://www.sos.state.mo.us/archives/resources/birthdeath/default.asp#death By searching on BINGHAM in Jackson County, I got two hits, one of them being a Martha A BINGHAM, who died Sept 20, 1890, at 66 years, as a widow. Location of death was 12th ST and Washington, cause of death was Vomiting and Prostration. Other than Female, White, no other information was furnished. Sherry, as John recommended, I would still contact the cemetery to confirm this is your Martha. They may also have some other BINGHAM folks interred there also.
