How old was Rose O'Neal Greenhow when she finished her goals?

She didn't, she died! Duh! She was 47 when she died.

Some info from "American Civil War spies" that I didn't see in this article: "The Greenhows had four daughters : Florence, Gertrude, Leila, and "Little" Rose. Tragedy struck the family when Greenhow's husband died soon after little Rose's birth. After his death, Greenhow saw her oldest child Florence move west, and later, just before the Civil War, Gertrude died. Greenhow's sympathy for the Confederate cause grew after her husband's death. She was strongly influenced in her commitment to the right to secession by her friendship with John C. Calhoun. Greenhow's loyalty to the Confederacy was noted by those with similar sympathies in Washington, and she was soon recruited as a spy." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Srfrantz (talk • contribs) 13:51, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
