NOTE: The place of death is unknown, 2 years before her death she lived in Decatur, Iowa, but on the Iowa Death Cert. 1920-1940, I can not find her. This is a great source with the actual Death cert. I tried all possible names, & tricks I could think of, without any luck. Place of death could be Kansas?. One or the other. really would like to find the place.
