d/o Lorenzo D Cooper and Lavinia Job
B: she was born Abt. 1855
D: I based her death on a newspaper article I found in the Trenton Weekly Tribune dated Thursday, April 18, 1900 stating that "Mrs. William Willis, who lived between Trenton and Edinburg, died Sunday night and was buried Monday." Additionally, her husband was listed as a widower on the 1900 census and her last child was born in 1895.
She possibly died in Grundy County where she lived, however, the newspaper article did not state where she was when she died and I haven't found a county record of her death or other mention of a death location. She is probably buried in the Willis Chapel Cemetery as her first son is buried there and the cemetery was established by her father-in-law, Henry Willis, however no documentation nor gravestone has been found to date.
