Death Certificate: Laura Virginia Ritchie
I saw a hint on Ancestry today for the death certificate of my 3rd Great Aunt, Laura Virginia Ritchie Carr.
Abraham Carr and Laura Virginia Ritchie Carr
According to her death certificate Laura died of Tuberculosis, also known as Consumption, TB, and White Plague. As many of us know, TB affects the lungs.
On her death certificate Laura is listed as a housewife, born in Virginia. No town is listed for her birthplace. Her burial place is listed as Oak Grove Cemetery. This record also confirms she is the daughter of Philip and Margaret Ritchie.
