Devastated by the death of Linda. She was a trailblazer in her field fighting institutionalized sexism and discrimination.

After acquiring a job-related terminal brain cancer, she spent the last years of her life fighting the city for disability benefits that were initially denied.

That's my guess too! Fire hydrants?
Here's a current hydrant map of the area -- some quick googling says that hydrants started to be installed in 1801, and the high pressure system started in 1901.
