Death certificate dated Jan.29, 1916 in Memphis, Shelby county, Tennessee for William H. Deaton. His cause of death at age 71 is given as apoplexy. For his 'trade, profession or particular kind of work', his wife said 'None' [sounds like she thought of him as a 'deadbeat'!]. His place of birth is given as Arkansas and his parents names were L.B. Deaton and Christiana Walker and their birth state looks like 'OK' but should be 'TN'. The certificate says he will be buried in Elmwood Cemetery. [D__0348]
