My grandmother and her mother took care of my grandmother’s father at their home near Loraine, Adams County, Illinois, for the last two years of his life after he had a debilitating stroke. By the summer of 1934 his condition had deteriorated to where they could no longer handle him at home.<\/p>\n

He was sent to a state hospital where he died in August of 1934.<\/p>\n

His obituary stated that he died at his home. Family tradition always indicated he died at home. The death certificate says otherwise.<\/p>\n

There was a sense of shame that he had to be sent somewhere and so it was never mentioned.<\/p>\n

If you can’t find your relative’s death certificate in “the right place,” try looking for a death in a nearby hospital or state facility. Sometimes families don’t like to mention these things.<\/p>\n
