Jason Emerson writes, "Her (Mary's) body was laid out in the parlor of the Edwards home, the same room in which she was married, in a white silk dress. Ironically, despite her sixty-eight trunks full mostly of clothing, Elizabeth Edwards had to send to Chicago for a suitable one."

Maybe the dress specified in 1874 was in one of these 68 trunks?
