• Notes

  Cause of Death: Disease of the Heart and Lungs, duration 10 or more years Research and notes - Deborah Sweet: 1) The info on Martin, Louisa and theirchildren is taken from Madaline Wright's hand copied Bible Records from Martin Southworth's Family Bible. At the time (abt 1937) she was doing her research, it was located at Earl Southworth's at Fly Creek, County of Otsego, NY. Possible middle name: George [from Mickel's DAR application]] 2) Death Documentation: NYS Dept of Health Death Cert. #11219; No. of corresponding Entry in Registry Book of Deaths to be inserted by the Registrar: #187; County of Otsego, Town of Milford, at Portlandville. Martin Southworth, Age 71 yrs 17 days;Occupation: Cooper, Leaves a wife; Birthplace: Otsego County, NY; Father: Oziois[sic] from Vermont [there have been what looks like erasures/changes to the document here, and also under 'state or country', although the original would really need to be checked]; Mother: Demi?, Vermont [ibid] Place of Death: Town of Milford at Portlandville [there are two small categories which areillegible, one may be asking length of residence, looks like it says '10 yrsor more' ] Date and Hour of Death: 16 April 1887, at about 1 am.; Joels? Jack? Thosna?, M.D. of Portlandville, NY, signed 4/17/1887, certifies he attended deceased from December 1885 to April 1887, last seen 4/15/1887, died on 4/17/1887 about 1:00 am.; Chief and determining Cause of Death: Disease of the heart, 10 year duration, and Lungs, 6 year or more duration, of long standing.; No burial information is given on the document - permit, date, place, undertaker unknown. [My guess is that he was buried by the third day, so I enteredthat as date of burial. Also that he was probably buried in Portlandville, as his wife Louisa was shown to have been buried there, although Cemetery nameis unknown. Her undertaker was A. Cronk of Milford. Since she died only three years later, it may be that it is the same one who took care of Martin.] 3) Cemetery info for Martin, Louisa and William is courtesy of Russell S. Luce, Jr.; luceruss@mkl.com According to Otsego Co. Genweb; taken from "EarlyHistory of the Town of Milford and Other Parts of Otsego Co. From 1773-1903" by Ezra Stevens; Sect.1, Chap. 1, pp. 2-52 'Portlandville had become quite prosperous, a good business and supported three churches but no cemetery, consequently a company was organized and the present (written ca. 1903) Pine Grove Cemetery was established in 1861.'
