Anthony Kozub's Death Certificate

Here is a copy of Anthony Kozub's death certificate. Anthony is August's younger brother. He was living with Irene Kelly Kozub when she died in 1942 at 173 Broad Street in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. It looks like he was living there still when he died only a year later, on December 29, 1943. He was only 41 years old! The certificate says he was single, as I suspected. It says he was born in Salem, Pennsylvania and that he is a postal clerk. The informant is his oldest brother Alex Kozub, of Cleveland Ohio. Anthony is buried in the same cemetary as his parents: St. John's Cemetary in Perth Amboy, NJ. He was buried Jan. 1, 1944.

Thanks jtgen96!

jtgen96 notes that in this death certificate, Anthony's date of birth is listed as 1902 and that his birthplace is Salem, Pennsylvania. She says, "So, the Anthony born in New Jersey in 1900 must have died as a baby." That makes sense. I was wondering at one point in my research if Alexander and Irene had two children named Anthony.

Later. . . . (August 30, 2013), jtgen96 notes the following:

"Since we discussed this I have gathered more information and now believe that the birth date on the death certificate is incorrect.  My research indicates that this is not uncommon.  If parents are giving the information, in modern times, it usually matches records.  However, if the information comes from others it may not.  I have a birth record for an Anthony born 21 April in Perth Amboy in 1900 to Alexander Kosup and Francis Kelly.  Why Francis?  We can only guess. The birthplace was 26 Division St.  Both parents were born in Hungary.  The mother was 33 and the father 39.  Alexander's occupation was laborer.  The courthouse records for New Salem reported they do not have a birth record for Anthony during the period 1900 to 1904.  I have requested information from the church in New Salem where Alexander served as cantor regarding the dates of his period of service there. Hopefully, this will help."
