Mary Tennyson

Mary was 20 years old when she developed septic shock from an incomplete abortion. She died on January 20, 1982.

Life Dynamics lists Mary on their Tombstone Project poster, but doesn't indicate how they verified that the abortion was induced and not spontaneous (a miscarriage). Thus, I don't include Mary on the Cemetery of Choice.
