Was there a newspaper article that would explain how and where these two boys died? Edward was 12 or 13, John was about 7. Edward died 27 August 1930 (source: his Mass card and the family headstone). John died sometime in 1930 (source: the headstone). I am mainly interested in the cause of death.
headstone at findgrave:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/227018446/edward-coffeyI didn't find either of them listed at
The Italian Genealogical Group,
https://www.italiangen.org/databases/, The NYC Historical Vital Records Project,
https://a860-historicalvitalrecords.nyc.gov/, or at familysearch.
Either I missed them somehow or they died outside city limits. They were both living with their parents in 1930 in Manhattan:

Could they have died together in a summertime accident of some kind somewhere besides New York City?

Also: their mother Margaret (Hughes) Coffey died 3 May 1969 and was buried from a funeral home on Broadway, NYC. (source: a Mass card again.) It's too recent for a death certificate online, but was there an obituary that hinted at her cause of death?
Thank you
