He died shortly after midnight on the 9th after a 3 week illness. Probably no autopsy was done....I just checked with the Elmwood Cemetery manager and he siad that Joseph was buried on December 10, 1924 in a single lot which had been puirchased on December 8, 1924. He also checked and found that a Phebe Hoffman was buried in 1895, no month or day on the record, in a separate section. Hope this helps you out.
