This peaked my interest, so I looked up the event while I was at the Ohio Historical Society today. William Francis died 12 March 1910 at 168 Whittlesy Avenue in Norwalk, Huron, OH from Exhaustion, with Senile Diabetes as a contributing factor at the age of 77 years, 1 month, and 10 days. If you would like the copy of the DC, send me your snail mail address off the list.
