A sudden death is difficult. It’s especially difficult when the person is relatively young and far from home. It’s even worse when the death is an apparently violent one and the family several hundreds of miles away is notified by telegram.<\/p>\n

Death Certificate for Henry Goldenstein, July of 1921, Kansas City, Missouri. From the Missouri State Archives Website.<\/p><\/div>\n

The cause of death was determined by “inspection.” There was no\u00a0autopsy\u00a0and according to this death certificate his body made a quick trip back to Golden, Illinois where a burial was held on 9 July 1921.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
