Surnames: SHIFLETT, BLOSSER, MARSHULL Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YWE.2ACIB/171 Message Board Post: The death certificate for Frances Rebekiah Shiflett says that she was a married white female who was born on 15 March 1894. She was 24 years, 5 months, and 15 [?] days old when she died on 10 October 1918. Her occupation was Housewife. She was born in Bridgewater, Virginia, to Samuel Blosser and Frances Blosser. Both of them were born in Rockingham County, Virginia. Dr. L. J. Marshull [?] of Dayton, Virginia, wrote that she died of "Spanish influenza complicated by childbirth and acute nephritis." She was buried on 11 October 1918 at Fairview by B. B. Shiflett of Harrisonburg, Virginia. The death record was filed in Central District ["Ashby" crossed out], Rockingham County. The name of the informant is L. J. Marshull (Virginia Bureau of Vital Statistics Reel 74, Certificate 424-36896). I am not related to this family. I ran across this death certificate while looking for something else and thought it might be helpful to someone.
