      There are two entries for this death, on consecutive lines in the handwritten ledger: (1) Myrle Boyce, white female, married, died Nov 13 1914, age 34, cause of death female trouble; informant Francis Douglass, undertaker. (2) Myrtle Boyce, white female, married, occupation housewife, died Nov 13 1914, age 38y 5m 5d, cause of death louck (?) of bowels; informant H. Orrahood, M.D. In either case, the age must be considered incorrect, based on her age 6 in the 1880 Census and birth date Jun 1873 in the 1900 Census. Age 26 at her Feb 1901 marriage is also more in alignment with her census age.
