Question for 4/7:
 
Lizzie Borden, while acquitted of the murders of her father and step-mother, is still widely believed to have been the perpetrator. After the trial, Lizzie and her sister moved to a new house they named Maplecroft. A falling-out in 1905 estranged the sisters. Lizzie died of pneumonia in 1927 and, coincidentally, her sister died 9 days later, on June 10. What was Lizzie's sister's name?
 
(Hint: I am NOT looking for Alice, the name of a sister who died when only a small child.)
