CT Death Index
Otis R Fleet d. 13 Jun 1971 in Middletown CT age 60 yrs never married

Alice O Fleet d. 5 Dec 1955 at Essex Middlesex CT 82yrs old widowed

Almond must have died between 1930 and 1955 (in CT Middlesex Essex most likely)

Now that you have a death record for Almond's wife, Alice O Fleet, you can request an obit lookup at a local library in Middlesex. It may list when and where Almond died. With that then you can search for his death record and obit. Alices' death record may also list her parents' names.
