Gerrit H. Chaffee born August 26, 1851. The son of Dan Chaffee (1815 - 1906) and Sophronia Pease (1827 - 1906). Gerrit married Jane Sophia Weldon (1846 - 1915). He passed away July 22, 1891 at the age of 40.
We need help with interpreting details of his obituary. It says he was at a Dr. Braces Sanitarium in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Is there any info about this sanitarium? Is the name spelled correctly? He apparently had lung issues. Did he have TB? Maybe a pandemic? Was his death location Colorado Springs?
I have taken photographs of his gravestone to help in his genealogy research
Thank you
