Shirley,
There is no existing US or NY census for Columbia Co. between 1880 and 1900. NY did not
conduct a census in 1885. The US 1890 census burned up except for some separate schedules
like people receiving military pensions (something like that) which weren't kept with
the main census. The NY 1892 census was very skimpy, and did not include Columbia Co.
There is an unfortunate 20 year census gap for Columbia Co.
If she died in the state of NY 1880 or later, there is a chance that she would be listed
in the death microfiche at the NYS Archives in Albany. Technically, she should be listed,
but it took them a few years to get the system working well. So, the longer she lived
after 1880, the more likely she is to be listed.
You said that she died before 1895, but that you were looking for her in the 1900 census.
I don't understand why you are looking there, but LDS has microfilms of a soundex
index of the 1900 US census to make your job easier. I am not familiar with that index,
but it is my guess that it probably listed head of household and anyone living with a
family who had a different surname (unless it was a second family, in which case only the
head of that family would have been listed). So, if Lorinda lived with a married
daughter, I think she would be listed in that soundex if she lived that long.

I'm currently searching the 1900 federal census on
ancestry.com but have no
idea which child the widow lived with when she died.
These are her children:

I can order the film and search, but I do need to know if there is a state
census where she might have lived with someone after her husband died in
1879. She is not to be found in the 1880 census cds in NY nor in any of the
national indexes under any name.
State censuses seem to be my only hope.
