What town in Pennsylvania did Anna Jarvis die in?

Anna Jarvis died in West Chester, Pennsylvania, on November 24, 1948.

Jarvis spent her final years at Marshall Square Sanitarium in West Chester after declining health, financial hardship, and failing eyesight left her increasingly dependent on others. She had devoted much of her inheritance to promoting Mother's Day and then fighting what she saw as the holiday's commercial exploitation. People associated with the floral and greeting-card industries reportedly helped cover her care, though some details are repeated as legend.

West Chester was not Jarvis's birthplace or the place most associated with her activism. She was born in Webster, West Virginia, and later lived and worked in Philadelphia, where she campaigned for national recognition of Mother's Day. Her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, had inspired the movement.

After Anna's death, she was buried at West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, beside her mother, sister, and brother. She never married and had no children, making the distinction between her place of death and her burial place especially useful in trivia questions.
