Catherine Jennings Dempsey Death, 1896

 Wendy DeRiancho found this:


Two causes of death are listed:

1. Pulmonary Phthisis (https://www.dovemed.com/article-synonyms/pulmonary-phthisis/)

2. Asthenia https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/asthenia-weakness


So, looks like this is close to TB, and she had it for at least 6 months (July 1895 thru Jan 1896).

Also, looks like Thomas Dempsey received the certificate of her death. He also paid for her burial at Holy Cross.

(Note date of burial has wrong year)

Thanks Wendy!
