Death by Childbirth Insanity, Contributory, Insomnia

While working on local cemetery projects this death certificate was used to verify the death date and the surname at death.

Document from Seeking Michigan Death records.  Surname indexed:  Prulipp. Surname in reality:  Prielipp.  Cause of death shown as child birth insanity, contributory cause is shown as insomnia.  As my friend Mary says, "post-partum depression rears its ugly head".

Bertha is buried at the Speigel Lutheran Cemetery, Blissfield Township, Lenawee County, Michgan.  As you can see from the death certificate, this cemetery was also known as the German Lutheran Cemetery.
