Unfortunately she died in Pennsylvania, so I need help from a distant relative (she was an only child, was not married and had no children). In return for your help in requesting the death certificate, I am happy to pay for the certificate and will also share the information I have collected about this very interesting, yet obscure, artist and her Cosgriff relatives. Please contact me if you are willing or able to help me!
