No. I accessed the image of the document through Ancestry.com's library edition. I'm not sure how to get a link to the documents that are only available to their paid subscribers. I do have a PDF of the image though.

Thank you, I was able to find it, once I knew it was ancestry. I also found the same obit in Pennsylvania and Virginia. I wonder why it was considered newsworthy in these places? Because she had 17 children? This is certainly a plausible account. However we need more evidence to make this connection positive.
