Strange Death! Poor Gertrude succumbed to...custard. She rests in Sec. 14 Lot 261 with her husband who did not indulge that day in the deadly sweet treat. An article was written a year later in the New York Polyclinic which attributed her death and the sickness of her household to Ptomaine Poisoning, also know as food poisoning from bacteria.
