Little is known about the later years of Rebecca Crumpler, the first black female doctor. We do know, however, that some online sources are incorrect in saying her husband was also a doctor (he was not); in fact, in her later years, Rebecca Crumpler often read to her husband and encouraged him to go to school. And we know that she died in the greater Boston area in March 1895, at the age of 64 (or perhaps 65). Only a year earlier, in 1894, a Boston newspaper had described her as "pleasant and intellectual" and said she was a tireless worker for her church; no mention was made of any illness. Thus, until more information about her surfaces, we lack any cause for her death.
