I’m continuing my work on the Lund family, but now I’m focusing on the next two generations…particularly the wives and their families. Today, during naptime, I chose to research a bit more about Edith Pearl Taylor’s family (she went by Pearl). Here was all I had to go on:
Grandma Pearl was born about 1892 based on her marriage certificate. She was married on 18 Jan 1911 to Victor Erastus Lund. According to my MIL her father was William and her mother was Ada. She lived in Plain City, UT and died when my husband was a young boy. That’s it!
First, I hoped to verify the dates for Pearl’s birth/death. Since I knew that Edith died in Plain City, I searched for her gravestone on FindAGrave.com.
I think their children’s names are listed across the bottom, but it’s difficult to read. I’ll have to go see it in person sometime. What was really helpful on the FindAGrave.com website was the “family links”. There I found her parents – William and Ada Rose. Their gravestone also gave me a lot of new information.
In addition to the gravestone, another user “Burnt Almond Fudge” added the picture of William’s Death Certificate. So I tracked it down myself. With these three finds, I now have a lot more information about Pearl and her parents…in fact, I now know her paternal grandparents’ names. Score!

I hereby Certify, That I attended deceased from {blank} to {blank} that I last saw her alive on {blank} and that death occurred, on the date stated above, at {blank}. The Cause of Death was as follows:
Chief Cause: General Debility.
Where Contracted: Plain City Duration: 10 ds.
Contributory: {blank} Duration: {blank}
Where Contracted: {blank}
(signed) Wm Mathers Registrar
Date: May 18, 1907 (Address) Plain City

According to my mother-in-law General Debility means “weakened after a slow decline”. Basically, she died of old age. Her son, Janus F Lund was the informant on the death certificate and all of the information on it is correct according to my database.
In addition to her death certificate I also found two newspaper notices of her death.
18 May 1907 – Death Notice – Karen Lund (Sat.)
Mrs. Karen Lund, 91 years of age, a native of Denmark, died at her home in Plain City at 9:25 p. m., Friday. She was born in Bornholm, Denmark, on Oct. 9 1815, became a member of the Mormon church 52 years ago and came to Utah in 1871. She leaves six sons, 45 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren. The funeral will be held in the Plain City meeting house at 4 p. m., Sunday.
Source: University of Utah, “Random References,” death notice, Ogden Standard Examiner, 18 May 1907, death of Karen Lund; online images, Utah Digital Newspapers(digitalnewspapers.org : downloaded 8 September 2011).
According to this article, she joined the LDS Church 52 years prior to her death (i.e. 1855) but according my database, and Family Search, she was baptized in 1853 (54 years prior to her death). Family Search also has various baptisms for her done after her death, but within her lifetime 1853 is the only year listed.
20 May 1907 – Death Notice – Karen Lund (Mon.)
Service [sic] were held yesterday afternoon over the remains of Mrs. Karen Lund, at Plain City. Mrs. Lund was 91 years old at the time of death.

Of Note:
- He died at 1:10 am on the “Via Pública-Linha Amarela-RJ” which is a freeway. I think he was in an ambulance.
- Lists his parents and his age but not his birthdate. Good thing I already knew that.
- I wonder who the declarant is. I’ll have to ask my dad if he knows him.

My father gave me a few documents that he has collected over the years. This is the Death Certificate for my Paternal Grandfather’s Mother, Leonisia Marinho de Macedo. My parents went to the registry office to get a transcribed copy of the death certificate.

Interesting Information:
- Leonisia died in childbirth. According to the dates she died on 6 July 1922. Her last child, Amilton Marinho de Macedo, my father’s uncle, was born on 3 May 1922. So, Leonisia was ill for about a month before she died.
- The Declarant is my great-grandfather, Leonisia’s husband.
- I’m surprised that so many fields were left blank. It would have been great to find her father and mother and where they were born. I will have to look for some sort of marriage record which I hope will have this information on it.
