She was seventeen, the daughter of a Boston merchant, and by all accounts, genuinely beautiful — the kind of person people remembered long after she left a room. Emerson was taken with her. He was young, brilliant, and apparently not immune to a lovely face. They married on September 30, 1829.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe died on February 8, 1831 of tuberculosis — referred to as \"consumption\" in her time — at just nineteen years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe mourned her deeply and for a long time.
