Henry Austin Carringer is my great-grandfather, husband of Abbie Ardell "Della" (Smith) Carringer (1862-1944), and the father of my grandfather, Lyle L. Carringer (1891-1976).
I obtained this death certificate from the San Diego County Recorder on 28 April 2014 by walking into the Chula Vista office and requesting it, while forking over $21 for a certificate with the banner "Informational, Not a Valid Document To Establish Identity" on it.

Arteriosclerotic disease. Registrar might be Hansen (-on). Claire Keenan
And...I've always wondered. When, where, and why (maybe in the hereafter?) would a death certificate ever be accepted as proof of identity? I'm picturing zombies at the DMV, trying to get / renew drivers' licenses.... ;-) Claire Keenan
