When he died in 1933, The New York Times published a substantial obit, stating that he died at home. At that time, his home was located in the Bronx. Family has the exact Bronx address. -------------- Having recently been through this very type of conundrum, I can say: Newspaper obits sometimes state "died at home" when that wasn't literally true. When I was researching Frederick Jacobs who died "at home" in Brooklyn (1902), there was no NYC Death Cert found. But when I visited the cemetery (in Bklyn), it said he was buried "from Vailsburg, NJ." He was ill with TB and had gone to live with his son in NJ. And that's where I finally found the DC. It may even be a 'Body in Transit' Document. So try to learn more about the possible cause of death, and even all/many family members nearby (over the state border). If the person was ill in their last weeks or months, they could just have moved in with them. And as you know, the DC emanates from actual residence at the time of death (not the 'usual' home address). Allen **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?
