Check the MD Vital records on line at the following Maryland Archives website. _http://mdvitalrec.net/cfm/index.cfm_ (http://mdvitalrec.net/cfm/index.cfm) I clicked search, scrolled down to Baltimore City Death Index, and clicked on the MSA CE 42, HEALTH DEPARTMENT, BUREAU OF VITAL STATISTICS (Death Record, Index) 1875-1972 MSA CE 42-190 scrolled down to the last entry on the next page L000-Z652, and manually searched each screen, as they are not in alphabetical order, on page 30, found the following Soundex, Surname, First Name, Race and Sex, Date of Death, Age, and Registered Number M266, McCreary, Lucille, 4 (this must be a code for the race and sexbut I didn't see any explanation), 9/31/71, 8832. If you go to this page, you can also order a copy of the death certificate itself (since this is only an index). As you'll notice there are also indexes for other years I did a quick check of the 1934 and 1935 for Nathaniel, and couldn't find him. I noticed you said he died in fairfax, Baltimore, Maryland. Could it be possible that he died in Fairfax, Virginia, rather than Baltmore? Just a thought Hope the information on Lucille helps.
