Her granddaughter, Melinda Sultan, writes in December, 2010: "I confirmed with the cemetery that Asuncion Castro was buried June 10 1924. Her only living child, my uncle, told me of taking a train to Saranac Lake with his Dad, at the age of 4, to visit his mom. He described taking a horse drawn sleigh to the sanatorium, after the train ride. He visited his Mom in what he described as a very pretty large building."
