Texas Death Certificate #31894
Mrs. S. Boozer, died Ballinger, Runnel Co TX on 9 Nov 1921. She was a widow; born 2 Nov 1840, age 81 years, 7 days at her death. She died of pellagra. Father was Wash Hoye; mother was Nancy Proctor - both born in Kentucky. Mrs. J. W. Lindley of Ballinger was informant and she was buried at Blackwell, TX.
Note: Pellagra is a vitamin difficiency caused by the chronic lack of niacin in the diet. It was epidemic in the Southern U.S. in the early 1920's. Much of the corn grown at that time was not being treated with lime which had made the niacin nutritionally available. The Native Americans had used lime, but the importance of doing so was not understood. Twice as many women as men were affected.
