Why did Ruby die at age 20? she was born to Hershel and Vera (Olds) Gleaves June 13, 1913 and died Nov. 1, 1933. Does anyone have the answer?

I have a copy of her 1933 death certificate, but it is very difficult to understand the terms used due to the poor hand written causes written by the doctor. She had exploratory surgery done on her kidney on October 18, 1933. This resulted in an abscess of the kidney and something I cannot make out. The informant on the death certificate was her father, Hershall Gleaves. It gave a date of birth as June 17, 1912.

George, My name is Keri Gleaves, I met you at the reunion this year. Hershal was my great grandfathers brother. Is it possible to send me a copy of Ruby's death certificate? I would really appreciate it.

Hope all is well with you,
Keri
