Title: Cause of Death
Post by: lyleswart on Sunday 18 April 21 23:38 BST (UK)

Hi All,

We're stumped by the cause of death on the records of an inmate of a psychiatric hospital in California in 1898.  Most of it is legible; the cause of death (the final two words of the very last sentence) is hard to make out.  Here's what we have: "Died March 7, 1898 of ______ ______".   

All help is appreciated!
Lyle

Can you just scan that particular part and post it as it may be clearer without the rest of the text

Sure ... here's the last line only.

Yes, I agree.  Not crossing the letter "t" was throwing me.  Thanks to you both!
