Emelie had a condition that we now know would have been epilepsy, but then was just called nervous fits. She had joined a convent and the nuns living with her were told not to leave her alone but one did, to attend mass, Emelie had a fit and choked to death. I think that Marie died of a blood clot that reached her brain, but double check that one because I only know the history from family stories and those can get embellished over time or just be downright wrong.
