Death and Aftermath
Frances Slocum (Young Bear) died in Indiana in 1847 when she was 74 years old. On May 6, 1900 her descendants, both white and Indian, raised a monument at her gravesite that still stands today. The zinc marker, with a long epitaph, is a tribute to her life as both Young Bear and Frances Slocum, as well as to her husband, who is commemorated on one side. Many other attractions are also named after her, including Frances Slocum State Park in Pennsylvania.
