Info from Lee Richards"

Sincde there was a death certificate, we decided to look on Ancestry. We discovered that Earnestine suffered an onset of perforative appendicitis on 1 May, a laparaotomy operation (exploratory abdominal surgery) was performed on her on 3 May in St Paul's Hospital in Dallas, but that she nevertheless died of generalized peritonitis at St. Paul's Hospital in Dallas on 8 May.

Blasterz were glad to see some Christmas decorations here for little Earnestine.
