Thanks...I just thought it was unusual at least for its time period...today we have women who are a bit "smart alecky" and would write something for themselves re their being a mother/housewife but thought it unusual for an undertaker. For a female this generally would have been left blank re length of time, etc....had they answered the ? re how long one would be able to trace back to marriage time. (I had it). And being a woman I noticed that, but wonder if any of the men reading that d. certificate thought anything unusual about it.
