William Aloysius Siggins Death Certificate

Another death certificate received today (see this post for background) was for William Aloysius Siggins. Although the film is damaged and causes a streak down the middle of the image, there is no doubt who he is. William is my Great-Great Uncle, my paternal grandfather's Uncle. He died in August 1911 when he was 21 years old from Tuberculosis. Even sadder: the 1910 U.S. Census lists him as being single while this death certificate indicates he is married. If both are correct, he died within about a year of getting married. Unfortunately, his wife's name is not given.
