Unique Death Notice?
« on: Monday 21 March 16 10:11 GMT (UK) »
Thomas Henry Triggs was born 20 March 1851, Catherine Street, St..George in the East, London. Son of Charles Triggs, Cigar Maker. Thomas died 30 August 1932.in New Haven, Connecticut, USA.

Thomas H. Triggs, Cigar Maker, [at]  D. Grave & Son, residence  597 Chapel [Street],  New Haven,  1931 Price and Lee  Co. Directory.

Thomas H. Triggs, died 30 August 1932. Aged 82.  His death published in Price & Lee Co.'s Directory for New Haven 1932. gives his death date/age. I have never seen another death date in a Street Directory having gone though many in my time. Is this a unique death notice or has another RootsChatter seen these before?

Its not unusual to find a reference to a death in a US City Directory.

Thank you Sandra. The death notice was very beneficial to my research. But not unique! Happiness reigns.
