Death Certificate Delilah Penina(h) Louisa FRYE

  General Notes:

Death Certificate: The West Virginia death certificate for "Mrs. Louie Armstrong" represents Delilah Penina(h) "Louisa" (Frye) Armstrong, daughter of Thomas and Eliza (Allum) Fry. While her obituary states her death occurred at Lumberport (Harrison County), W VA, she actually died in Weston (Lewis County), W VA at Weston State Hospital. Although Louisa's nickname was "Lou," it is unknown if "Louie" on her death certificate was yet another nickname or was meant to have been "Louise" (a variation of Louisa). Her date of birth is not provided but names of her parents are, plus the fact that her cause of death was "apoplexy." Louisa's body was returned to Pennsylvania for burial in Washington Cemetery, Washington, Washington County. Her death certificate provides February 4 as her burial date; her obituary states her burial occurred on the Thursday after her death, which was February 5.
