Treasure Chest Thursday - Rose Anna (Noel) Seaver's Death Certificate

...
It's Treasure Chest Thursday - time to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.

This week, the "treasure" is the death certificate for Rose Anna (Noel) Seaver (1897-1948) of Leominster, Massachusetts:

I obtained this death certificate by postal mail from the Leominster Town Clerk's office in 1996.

Here is the transcription of the death certificate (typed parts underlined and italic):

Rose Anna Noel was born 15 April 1897in Nashua, New Hampshire to Napoleon and Mary (Lemoine) Noel.  She married Harry Clifton Seaver  (1885-1951) in about 1940 in Leominster. Harry and Rose had no children.   Harry Clifton Seaver was my granduncle, since he was the brother of my grandfather, Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942).

Before I obtained this death certificate, I did not know the full name of Harry's wife.  My discussions with my Seaver aunts and uncles told me nothing about her.  I know nothing more about the Noel family, but I wish that Harry and rose had had children because it might have been instructive and challenging to do French-Canadian research!

While Harry is not in my direct ancestral line, I wanted to obtain his death certificate, and that of his wife, in order to have the information available in my genealogy database. Besides, records like this are relatively cheap in Massachusetts - I think this one cost $3 in 1996.
