Cause of Death?? Help Please

[klmadz2301]

Hi all

you have been so wonderful in helping decipher other photos i have posted so hopefully someone can decipher this for me.

Its an Iowa Death Certificate for Frederick William Fisher, born in England (He stowed away on a ship bound for the USA and never spoke to his family in England again). I can read the date of death and possibly the word 'stomach' but that is all. I have tried matching up other letters on the DC but i cant seem to read it at all

Thanks to all in advance

It possibly says "hemorrhage from stomach & bowels".

Under contributory cause, its looks like "cancer (something)"

hemorrhage from stomach [¿cancer?]
cancer of liver

Notice the numbers -  123 and 118.  These are cause of death codes which can be found here:

If i could give you all a hug, I would. Thank you thank you thank you

I have been staring at this certificate for weeks trying to work it out and its been driving me crazy. Then i moved all my documents from one computer to the other and thought i had lost it. Found it earlier and posted on here. Thank you.

Erato: i looked at the codes. That is really interesting. I have never seen that before.

118 - Disease of the stomach

123 - Disease of the intestines

I agree with this. I think it says 'Cancer of Liver' as contributory cause.
