Death and/or Burial Place of Martha McCoy

MCCOY

My gggrandfather, David McCoy, lived in Dows, Wright County, for a period of time between 1880 and 1895. I believe my gggrandmother, Martha McCoy, may have died there. They had a daughter, Belle McCoy, age 14, and on June 18th, 1895, David McCoy had her committed to the Iowa Institution for Feeble-Minded Children. He listed his address as Dows, Wright County, Iowa on the admitting papers. I think he decided to commit Belle because her mother had died. I am thinking Martha died sometime earlier in 1895. She would have been about 51 years of age at her death, born in Knox County, Illinois and her maiden name was Housh. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
