The daughter, who resembled in ability the mother, and who was most in sympathy with her, soon joined her in the spirit world. Kick-e-se-quah was only forty-seven years old when she died on March 13, 1847. Her first husband was a Miami Indian, and died soon after the marriage, leaving a daughter, who was killed by her lover because she refused to marry him, Kick-e-se-quah's second husband was Captain Jean Brouillette. This marriage was a happy one, though childless. The captain was attentive and devoted to his wife, with a great respect for his mother-in-law. Camillious Bondy, a nephew of Nancy related the following story about her burial to the Brouillett Study Club of Converse, Miami Co. Indiana in 1932: That she died before he was born. That she possessed much fear that she might be buried alive and through her request, she was buried thus; As the story was related by his parents to him, Rev. Peter Bondy and his wife, Jane Bondy. When Ke-Ke-Na-Kush-Wa died they made a walnut coffin with no bottom in it. They laid her body on the ground and placed the coffin over it. Camillious Bondy says that as a boy he had played on the box and he could see the bones through the cracks in the old coffin. At a later date his father made a box or coffin and placed her bones in it and buried it and planted two cedar trees one at each end of the grave so as to mark it.
