I was hoping that by the 1920s there would be mandatory death certificates. It puzzles me that Henry would have reported his daughters death in 1921 but not his wife's death. Perhaps he was overcome with his grief and there was no one else to do so. Thanks again. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
