at least don't know is truthful. One death certificate was found with cause of death: nothing serious. Sounds serious to me if it kills you. <g> Have seen some dying at 78 of "old age" and then some dying at 90 of "accident" Now if "old age" killed one at 78 how did the other escape it to have an accident years later?? <g> "old age" does not kill anyone.

From reading census takers handwriting, etc I would venture to guess that the como was really coma but the olena has me puzzled. Hi, Mary You're off the hook for that one. Someone else copied the funeral home records that mentioned olena como. I've ordered a copy of the death certificate. When it gets here maybe all of us can take a shot at trying to decipher what's written on it. Speaking of cause of death on a death certificate, my wife ordered a copy of the death cert. for her great grandfather and the cause of death was written. . . . ."don't know" . Maybe "olena como" is another term for "don't know".
