A while back I wrote an article about [[Elizabeth Cass]] who was a minor
cause celebre in 1887. She was born in 1863 but never hit the headlines
again. I assume she died sometime in the 1920s or 1930s but nowhere is
there any confirmation. She has a birth year category but no death year
category.

Would she be tagged as a 'Living person'?
