It is actually quite complicated as he died in the
Navy Hospital in NYC and I was told was buried in the
Naval Yard but recently found out they quit burying
there about 6 years before he died (19 Jul 1926) of
tongue cancer. He actually lived in Matamoras, PA.
I'm not sure why he was in the Naval Hospital as I
have not found anything to make me think that he was
in the service.

Of course, I have checked census' for many areas
around there but have not found him. But he could
have been anywhere in northern NJ, NE PA or NY. In
fact, there is a mention of him in the NE PA
Biographical Record stating that he lives in
Middletown, NY (about 1900). But I have not been able
to locate him there either.

Thanks for your suggestions and if you think of
anything else, please let me know.
