Death Certificate Found

Look what I found in the stack off stuff - Grandpa Green's death certificate!  I love finding something when you least expect it!  Now I didn't actually learn anything new but I am now one more step toward sourcing my file, yeah!!

I didn't know that social security cards were ever made of metal!  Behold the original social security card for my husband's grandfather.  I really have nothing else to add so this is a SHORT entry!

Mrs. Roxanna Kidder; 1895

Started scanning again.  This time I was going through a file folder of newspaper clippings and other stuff.  There were quite a few Livingston clippings and some other interesting things.  One of the great things was an 1895 funeral pamphlet for Mrs. Roxanna Kidder, Died Aug. 8, 1895.  This is actually one of my problem areas so it is great to have a specific death date!  This should be the grandmother of Jennie Kidder who married Clark Green in 1886.  I only wish there had been more information :)
