Death Certificate of Eugene Grace
This is the front of the death certificate for my great-grandfather, Eugene Grace. His occupation is given as motorman, birthplace is given as Vermont, name of mother is Catherine Travers, name of father is Edward Grace. The cause of death is given as Pulmonary Tuberculosis, place of burial is Calvary Cemetery, Queens, NY.
It also states that he went into the hospital on July 27, which means he died after spending 16 days in City Hospital.
Death Certificate, side 2
This is the second side of the certificate, stating that his wife’s name is Anna Grace. All of this information is already known, it just reaffirms that this is the death certificate for the right person.
The address of Eugene and Anna and their family was 306 East 83rd St. Here’s a photo of the building. The dark gray one in the middle has the 306 on the door. That’s where my grandfather lived from the time he was born until he was 3.
And here’s a google map link to the same address.

I can picture my grandfather sitting in his rocking chair talking about his brother Eugene and what a fine man he was and how he died too young. My grandfather would get very emotional when he spoke of great uncle Eugene. He spoke of how little they had and how they could not go to school in the winter for lack of shoes. He also spoke of their mother and wished he could have her back to give her things.

That is so moving, thank you for telling me. I’d love to know if you can remember any other family stories. Thanks, Jan.
