Bridget Stevens McIntyre Death Certificate, 1908

Bridget was living in Portland Oregon with her daughter, Nell (Ellen), at 598 1/2 Albina Avenue, when she died. The cause of death is given as "Senility and Lassistude (?) over a year duration."  Contributory factors were "valvular disease of the heart for over a year."  The death certificate states Bridget was born in March 1829, and was 79 years, 6 months old.  Other records state she was born in 1830.

Her father is listed as Michael Stevens born in Ireland; her mother's name is not supplied but the death certificate indicates her mother was also born in Ireland.

The certificate states she died on September 6, 1908 and was buried in the Queen City, Oregon on September 8, 1908.  [Note: the largest city in a state, which is not the capitol of the state, is called the "Queen City."  Portland, in 1908 and even today, is the largest city in Oregon.] Although the certificate doesn't state this, it is believed she was initially buried at St. Mary's Cemetery, Portland, Oregon.  Undertaker is reported as Zeller/Zetler(?)  Byramus (?) in Portland.

Her daughter E. [Ellen] McIntyre is indicated as informant.  The certificate is signed by Curtis Holcomb, MD, 129 1/2 Russell Street.

Standard Certificate of Death, register number 24, Portland, Oregon.

Does anyone have the death certificate of Patrick McIntyre, Bridget's husband, who died May 24, 1901?
