rolt968 Posted 9 June , 2019 Share Posted 9 June , 2019 The cause of death in 1917 of the widow of a man I am researching was given as "Disease of knee joint & wrist; heart failure". The man himself had been killed in action just over a month earlier. He made a will four months before her death appointing his parents executors and trustees for his children and not mentioning his wife. This makes me wonder if he knew that she had a potentially fatal condition. (There might be at least one other reason.) Can anyone suggest what the lady's condition might have been.
