Flora Mure-Campbell, Countess of Loudoun and Marchioness of Hastings, died on January 8, 1840, and was buried at Loudoun Kirk. Her final months followed the highly publicized death of her daughter Lady Flora Hastings in July 1839. The younger Flora's liver tumor and the court scandal surrounding it were separate events and should not be made the mother's medical history. The marchioness had been widowed since 1826. An unusual family burial tradition records that her husband's preserved right hand was interred with her, in fulfillment of his request; it concerns their memorial arrangements rather than her cause of death. The available biography does not identify a fatal disease, a sequence of symptoms, or the duration of her final illness. Her loss of a daughter provides an emotional context, but grief alone is not established as the medical cause. No reliable bedside conversation or final words have been supplied.
