editThere is a decent amount of info here, but could someone familiar with the topic rewrite it so that (after the introductory paragraph of course) it reads in chronological order?

edit"She became ill after just two years marriage in 1845 and died."

removed odd sentence
editI've removed this unsourced sentence:
- After her death in 1857, medical examination concluded that she was suffering from a somatization disease.
because our linked article says the condition was only named in the 20th century. Something's not quite right. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 17:27, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
Expansion
editI've started to expand this article. It could be expanded further on the basis of the sources now listed.--Ipigott (talk) 14:30, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
