Kathy:

I have the Death Certificate for William Samuel BECK. Will put it in the
mail to you Monday, before noon. No name of spouse shown. He had no
Social Security Number, according to the informant, which was the
Hospital records. He was a citizen of England. He died in the Eureka
Sanitarium of Arteriosclerosis- generalized. Of 14 years duration. But,
he was buried in the Ferndale Cemetery (??). The DC will be $8.00, as we
agreed.

I looked for an obit, without success. Not in the Humboldt Times nor the
Humboldt Standard. Perhaps I should have checked the Ferndale
Enterprise. Will do next week.
