Welcome, "CH".

Altho there is some question about this, her cause of death is officially listed as "myocardia", a form of heart disease.

She also supposedly had never fully recovered from a gall bladder operation she'd had months earlier.
“I am innocent. I leave it to my counsel to speak for me.”

I can't read it- tho thanks for posting it MB.

Searching for a topic CH? Augusta has one hereabouts on this subject. We were discussing lately whether Lizzie had a complication of pnemonia with the myocardia.

You can also order death certificates directly from the Fall River Government Center Vital Statistics office. They have the whole family. That's how I got mine.

I don't know why the death certificate on eBay looks like it is a 'cut & paste' job. That's why I've been reluctant to buy one of those.

It would be interesting to be able to see her death certificate, tho.
