On February 24, 1926 Lizzie entered the hospital for her Gall bladder. Reportedly, she was a difficult patient, among other things, she refused to use a bed pan. Her favorite foods, including orange sherbet were delivered to her room from a Providence restaurant. After several weeks she returned to Maplecroft, but her health slowly deteriorated. She lost weight, her hair, once a beautiful reddish brown, turned gray. And on June 1, 1927 at the age of 66 Lizzie Borden died of heart disease.

I think we did this before, Laurie.
Could you cite your sources, please, when rendering up *facts*, including page numbers?
