Hi My grandfather,James Emmitte Dayhoff,was a ship purser who lived and sailed out of Galveston.The story goes that on April 11,1921 he drowned off the coast of Mexico during a ship wreck.There is also the possibility he died a natual death and was buried at sea. I don't know.In a case like this does any one know if a death certification be issued and if so,where would it be recorded. The date of death should be correct as it came from notes from his brother.Any info would greatly appreciated. By the way I'm a BOI who is looking forward to attending the 50th class reunion of the old Ball High on Oct 1 at Moody Gardens.Again any help is greatly appreciated. George W.
