BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. -- Elizabeth Coblentz, who wrote a syndicated column called The Amish Cook by the light of a kerosene lantern, died Tuesday after collapsing in her hotel room. She was 66.

The Independence Examiner reported that Coblentz is believed to have suffered an aortic aneurysm before dying at St. Mary's Hospital. She was in Blue Springs for a Wednesday book signing that was to be sponsored by the newspaper, which has run her column since 1999. The Indianapolis Star published her column on Sundays.
