I have his death certificate and he appears to match a person I was searching for...
This man died of chronic alcoholism and, if he is my man, family legend says he was buried in a county poor farm grave (the county said they had about 14 of them).
His particulars seem to match the man I am looking for but some information was different: father named Wm, born in Inda md. a woman named Emma Carter, b. Ind.
His birth date was May 1, 1875 He died Feb. 6,1929.
