Death Record, Bertha G. Fuchs, 1943, Montgomery County, Ohio

"Ohio, Deaths, 1908-1953," database with images, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X84M-Q7K : accessed 5 September 2015), Bertha G Fuchs, 23 Mar 1943; citing Dayton, Montgomery, Ohio, reference fn 18983; FHL microfilm 2,024,128.

Located the death record of Bertha G. Ailes (1888-1943), my paternal 2nd cousin 3 times removed, the daughter of Ethan Dewitt and Mary (Schaefer) Ailes.  Our common ancestor is Phillip Young.  I've been utilizing the Ohio death database at FamilySearch to update missing data in my RootsMagic database.

Bertha died March 23, 1943 in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio of carcinoma of the uterus.  She was residing at 124 Kirkham in Dayton.  She was buried in the Calvary Cemetery in Kettering, Montgomery County, Ohio.

According to her death certificate, Bertha was born March 13, 1888 in Dayton.  Her death certificate gave me the name of her mother as Mary Schaefer.

I know that John and Bertha had at least two children Walter and Mary.  I have more to search to find out if there were additional children and to learn about John's information.
