From a letter written by Abel Larkin (husband of Elvira's sister, Adeline) dated April 22, 1860, to his brother.
"Elvira Scott made us a visit last February from Michigan. She went to her old home expecting to find her parents alive and well, knew nothing of their death until she rapped at the door. She said she nearly fainted. Letters had been sent but not received. She is pretty intelligent and well posted in the religious and political movements of the day. Scott a farmer, tolerable independent in property."
From Elvira's death certificate, book 2, page 14, #342, the cause of death was "Dropsy". This condition is defined as "Edema (swelling), often caused by kidney or heart disease."

Elmer died far away from home under suspicious circumstances. If his grave has been undisturbed by erosion or construction, his remains lie on a slope overlooking "the south fork of" the Rogue River. Elvira first learned of his death through the kindness of a Justice of the Peace who took charge of Elmer's belongings.
