According to the gravestone, Ada died the same day as her daughter Hannah. Let's take a look at Ada's death certificate.

Interesting:

• Her name is listed at the top as Ada Ross, but it is Ada Rose and you can tell that looking at her name in the actual certificate.
• We get her birthdate and parents names. Her daughter appears to be named for her mother Hannah Maria Harris.
• The last names lead me to question if her relatives had anything to do with the settling of Harrisville or Taylorsville which are both only a few miles from Plain City where she lived with her husband. He also had the last name Taylor so perhaps his family was connected to the settlement as well.
• Now I get a confirmation of my suspicions. I knew Ada died the same day as her baby who was still born. I assumed Ada died because of complications due to pregnancy. Now we learn she died because of a Placental Hemmorhage and Placenta Preivia. Both of those are serious even today, so I can't imagine 100 years ago. Having experienced the former myself, I can sympathize with this woman and her dear child.
