Eleanor Agnes Lee died in Lexington, Virginia, on October 15, 1873, aged thirty-two. Accounts do not describe her final illness uniformly: the consulted biographical summary calls it tuberculosis, while the National Park Service describes an intestinal disorder for which her sister Mildred nursed her. Those descriptions should not be silently merged into an invented, clinically precise diagnosis. Her final period was spent with the family that had settled in Lexington after the Civil War. She had earlier cared for her father and had been deeply affected by the wartime death of her sister Annie. In 1873 she herself became the patient, with Mildred attending her. She died three years after her father and only twenty-one days before her mother. Mildred placed two roses from a bush their father had planted on her body, according to the National Park Service account. Agnes was buried in the family crypt. The supported story is one of illness and family nursing in Lexington, with uncertainty retained over the exact disease and no claim to a complete medical record or verified last words.
