You could probably find the place of burial and the exact cause of death in the death certificate. I've gotten one from 1927 that showed this ... although I have yet to actually locate the grave as it was unmarked. The LDS has the death index for the state of Florida all through the 20's ... I'd request it and then just go through the Hillsborough county list. As far as the property stuff .... I'm not sure if Hillsborough County has its records on microfiche (or anything) for that far back. Someone else on the list might know that one, if not, check with the Clerk's office or the Property Assessment office. Wish I could be of more help. I'd go look for you, but at the moment I'm tied down with four kids and most places that I could easily access that info aren't what you would call child friendly and our local LDS library doesn't even allow children in it. If I do get a few minutes though I'll try and run something down for you.
