Death Certificate of Martin VanBuren Mills

This death certificate gives reason to pause. The deceased’s name is MV Mills, yet the parents of MV Mills appear to be Martin VanBuren and Mary J Armstrong. The informant for this information is ME Mills, or Milton E Mills, who is the sixth child born to Martin VanBuren Mills and Mary Frances Armstrong. When providing information that would be used to complete this death certificate he may have become confused and thought that the questions were relating to him instead of the deceased individual. His, Milton E Mills, parents were Martin VanBuren Mills and Mary Armstong. The death certificate reads as if the parents of MV Mills are such.
