Death Certificate of Sarah Follett Ellsworth

Here's a snapshot of Great Grandma Sarah's death certificate. She was in her 75th year. Cause of death was cardiac decomposition (weak heart) and senility (old age). Her death was reported by Mrs. Charles Standage. Wasn't that Papa Frank's sister, Aunt Alta? The certificate was thorough, showing that she was born March 18, 1866 in Provo, Utah and that her father was William A. Follett, born in Portage County, Ohio, and her mother was Nancy Maria Faucett, born in Nauvoo, Illinois. Her street address at the time of death was 24 N. Mesa Blvd.

Good Morning Matt; Yes you are right. Mrs Charles Standage was Grandpa Ellsworth's sister. She was a very nice happy person. I learned to love her a lot. She always had a smile on her face and made you feel like she really did like you. I am going to try and check out your blog each day. I don't want to miss anything. Tell your Mom hello for me. Would love to see her while I am there.
Love Aunt Helen
