Both died of black lung according to family, he was a coal miner and she supposedly died from same thing he did by washing clothes for him, I wonder if she didn't wash clothes for others also. They spent time in Oklahoma mining as well as Arkansas. They may have died of lead poisoning instead of black lung, maybe?
