Which First Lady was buried in the white dress that she had purchased for her husband's in augural ceremonies? What was the cause of her death?

That would be Rachel Jackson, who died in December 1828. She died of a heart attack, probably brought on in part from the stress of the campaign and the "arrows dipt in wormwood" aimed at her by the opposition. Jackson believed it to the the fault of the vicious attacks of the National Republicans, and never forgave them.
