Death

Thomas died on 1 Sep 1907 at Seattle, King, Washington.[2]

Burial

Thomas's cremains were intered at Queen Anne Columbarium in Sep 1907. They were removed and delivered to his son Rufus on 20 Aug 1921. This is the day before his mothers burial in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery next door.[21]

Research Notes

  • Speculation is Thomas's cremains were placed with Mary Helen when she was buried.
  • No census record has been found for the 1900 US or 1901 Canada census. Thomas appears in the 1902 Seattle City directory. It is likely the family moved back to the US in early 1901.
