How did William H. Seldon, Jr. die?

My father is trying to find out how William H. Seldon, Jr. died. You can read about him on the following link.

Has he tried ordering a death certificate? Wayne County Clerk is the place you can order a death certificate from. I'd call the contact number and verify they have records going back to 1920 first, though.

I've pursued this line (county clerks) when researching family genealogy with satisfaction.

Best answer: Apparently, he died of endocarditis. You can view a copy of the death certificate here. If that link breaks, to go Seeking Michigan's search page, select "all the word","seldon","last name (death records)", and add "Death records (1897-1920)" to the collection - he's result #7.
