Particulars are as follows: Date of Death - 15 July 1896 Age - 70 Place of Death - Johnston [Twp., Trumbull Co., Ohio] Place of Birth - Scotland Occupation - Merchant CoD - bladder catarrh [inflamation] There are also 5 other STODDARDs listed in Johnston Twp.: Cornelia A, age 35, DOD 14 July 1891 unnamed, age 9 days, DOD 29 February 1868 George Alex, age 7, DOD 22 December 1896 Jane, age 77, DOD 24 January 1872 Walter, age 71, DOD 14 March 1868 I suspect that Walter's age may be incorrect since he died within 15 days of the unnamed child, and they are listed as having the same parents - George and Margaret.
