Evidence of Celinda's date and place of death is found in Geauga County Death Records 1867-1907, where she is referred to by her name, and in cemetery records for Hambden, Geauga Co Ohio, where she is referred to as "Miss (?) Wilmot.
She was the half-sister of David Wilmot, whose introduction of the Wilmot Proviso to Congress in 1846 is generally thought to be a contributing factor leading up to the Civil War. It would have required the banning of slavery in any territory acquired from Mexico (see good information at wikipedia.org).

Geauga County records indicate that Celinda was born in Germany (not correct, as borne out in 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880 census records and family genealogies); it also says her remains were sent to New York State for burial, which I have not been able to confirm.
Search continues for the cemetery where she was laid to rest.
