the Hayden Art Club which was the predecessor to the Sheldon Museum of Art. Final years and death She lived in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area for the last seven years of her life, to be closer to friends and relatives. Lloyd died on March 7, 1900 in Beverly, New Jersey due to heart failure and was buried with her husband and children in Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia. Legacy In May 2014, a time capsule was opened at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. The capsule came from the cornerstone of the building that had previously housed the Chemistry Department and had been planted there in 1916. The capsule had initially been forgotten but was discovered when a chemistry professor searching for information on Rachel Lloyd discovered a newspaper article about the capsule. The capsule contained newspapers from the time of its burial, information about what was happening at the school at the time, photos of members of the chemistry department, and other items related to the chemistry department as it had been in 1916. Included in these photos is a high resolution photo of Lloyd, which is often used in articles about her life and work. Arguably the most important item in the capsule was a biography of Lloyd's life, titled "In Memoriam: Rachel Lloyd, Ph.D". The book was written by her brother-in-law, Clement Lloyd, and contained information about her life that was not found elsewhere. On October 1, 2014, the American Chemical Society designated her research and professional contributions to chemistry at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln a National Historic Chemical Landmark.
