Madam C. J. Walker, whose birth name was Sarah Breedlove, was an orphan by the time she was seven because her parents, Owen and Minerva Breedlove had died. Her mother died first. Her father remarried the next year but soon died. There are no existing death certificates so the cause of death is unknown. It is unlikely that they died of yellow fever as some websites claim. Cholera is more likely but the cause really is unknown.
