  • The death certificate lists the cause of death as "old age" and notes the absence of an attending physician. During the early 20th century, this was a common classification on death records for elderly individuals who passed away after a natural decline rather than a specific acute illness or injury.

    The notation of "no doctor" underscores the common practice of families caring for their aging relatives at home, where they provided comfort and end-of-life support within the family setting rather than in a clinical environment.
