If that does not work, go to familysearch.org and select mkarthur frederick, death Indiana 1849. Then when the profile comes up select view image. I have researched all the common causes listed at the time but I cannot match any of them to this bad handwriting! There is a potential that he had hemophilia but I do not see anything resembling that sort of cause of death.

Thanks so much for taking a look!

Any luck reading that cause of death?

Just an FYI. Many hemophiliacs do not die of it. They die from the same things others do.

Yes indeed. All the hemophiliacs in my family have died of something else. In the old days working on farms and such, there were many accidents and bleeding to death is often found as a cause of death in those old records. The entry for this man does not appear to be that but for the life of me I can not read the darn thing.

I wondered if it might be cyanosis which could have been caused by internal bleeding. The handwriting is certainly inscrutable.
