Death
In 1864, her daughter, Prairie Flower, caught influenza and died of pneumonia causing extreme grief to Cynthia who now also had lost contact with her sons. When her favorite relative died in the American Civil War, Cynthia never fully recovered. She became sick and died in 1870. She was buried in Foster Cemetery on An County Road 478 in Anderson County near Poynor, Texas. Her son, Quanah Parker, moved her body in 1910 to Post Oak Mission Cemetery near Cache, Oklahoma. He was buried there in February 1911. Cynthia and Quanah were moved in 1957 to the Fort Sill Post Cemetery at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Oh Death he is a little man,
And he goes from do’ to do’ ...”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“... the heart monitor,
the death cricket bleeping.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practise, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever- present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.”
—Muriel Spark (b. 1918)
