I have a copy of this death certificate, and since it reads that John was widowed, I think he must be 60 years old. They just put down the wrong birth date. I read it as died in the fam House and the Hart dropsy probably is a mispelling of HEART. I think the informant was Charilty Russell. I could find nothing on a Will Pace and ?? wife???
