Somervillle, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States; Death Certificate #763 states that Sarah B. Cole died at Central St. Hospital in Somerville. Her residence is 36 Prospect. She is female, white, widowed, wife of James J. Cole. Date of birth is 1948, aged 70, housekeeper, born Newfoundland to Christopher St. Crious (sic) and Alice Brown, both born Newfoundland. Informant was Frank J. Cole of 14 Cypress St., Somerville. Cause of death was fracture of the skull and other injuries due to an automobile accident. Buried in Calvary Cemetery, Boston, Mass. on August 22, 1918. (My note - her son states that her parents are Christopher St. Croix and Alice Brown, however, her marriage record states they are William and Ellen St. Croix. It's possible that she went to live with Christopher after her parents died.)⁶
