NOTE - This death certificate is unique because it reveals a multitude of previously unknown things. Apparently Albert was married a total of 3 times as it lists the names of three wives: "Matilda Scotland, Sarah Starling, and Mary Copeland (all dead)". The informant was Lucile M. Renner (relationship not known) and she did not know where Albert's father was born nor how to spell the maiden name of his mother yet she had all this other intimate knowledge. I'm wondering if she wasn't an unknown daughter. He did have a grand-daughter named Lucille G. Mason, born about 1890, and she was the daughter of Orra Bowman. Perhaps she was married by 1928 and was Albert's informant. The name of the doctor was "D. S. Bowman" who was his son, Dell S. Bowman.
